UNSPSC 85723436: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right knee joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from right knee joint, 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 0SPC07Z

UNSPSC 85723436 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right knee joint, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to have little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the actual work being solicited by state and local bodies in the recent opportunities available. The six posted opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations concern removal of autologous tissue substitutes from knee joints or any comparable surgical procedure code work.

The disconnect between the UNSPSC code label and the opportunities tagged under it suggests either a systematic classification mismatch in the source data or that this specific procedure code is not a current procurement focus for state and local issuers. State and local healthcare and pension administration bodies are actively soliciting medical evaluation, occupational health, pharmacy, and staffing services across Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State, Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), but none of these solicitations reference orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue substitute removal. Prospective vendors should verify code alignment with actual opportunity scope before pursuing work under this classification.
