UNSPSC 85723464 Release right knee joint, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical orthopedic procedure. However, the recent state and local procurement opportunities tagged under this code show minimal relevance to orthopedic surgery; instead, the opportunities reflect a broad range of health care and behavioral health services including comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary care and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured suggests this code captures diverse health care contracting activity that does not align with a discrete surgical procedure.

The issuing bodies represent a mix of county governments, municipalities, and county health departments across multiple states. Recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) issuing RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison with a May 15, 2026 due date; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issuing RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services with an April 9, 2026 due date; Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issuing an RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services due April 16, 2026; San Mateo County Health in California issuing RFP No. 2025-007 for peer support services with a July 2, 2025 due date; and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California) issuing an RFP for fire department medical director services due October 16, 2025. The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California. Because the code's scope does not meaningfully correspond to the opportunities posted under it, this code shows low relevance for business development targeting orthopedic surgical services in state and local procurement.
