This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right knee joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0SRC07Z

UNSPSC 85723276 Replacement of right knee joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical networks for government employees, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgery, knee replacement procedures, or autologous tissue substitutes. The mismatch suggests either consistent miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-classification error in the procurement tracking system. No opportunities in the source block address surgical implants, prosthetic devices, or operative orthopedic interventions of any kind.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Arizona), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being bought, this code does not represent a reliable procurement category for business development targeting state and local government contracts for knee joint replacement devices or orthopedic surgical supplies.
