UNSPSC 85723435 Removal of spacer from right knee joint, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records but shows little alignment with actual purchasing activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or implant removal; instead, they span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not match the administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and staffing contracting that state and local bodies are actually soliciting under this taxonomy entry.

The issuing bodies in the recent record include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for PSPRS disability determinations), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out programs), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic activity spans Arizona, Florida, Washington, Texas, and California. No solicitations in the recent record are requesting removal of knee spacers or other surgical procedures under this Commodity code classification.
