UNSPSC 85723432, Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right knee joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which involve the removal of prosthetic knee implants. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth of health-services procurement actually posted under it suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local health departments and pension offices classify procurement. The source records show little decision-relevant activity aligned to the code's stated scope.

Recent opportunities posted under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (75 annual disability evaluations at $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Ferries RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026 (baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry terminals), and the County of Santa Clara's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026 (non-exclusive multiple-award pool spanning 13 ancillary clinical categories). Because the code does not accurately reflect the scope of work actually being procured, firms evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities listed beneath it.
