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 0SJD0ZZ

UNSPSC 85723503 Inspection of left knee joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure specific to orthopedic diagnosis, but the six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits programs, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve direct inspection procedures or orthopedic surgery. State and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities with the code despite their operational scope and service delivery models bearing no relationship to orthopedic joint inspection work.

The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error at the source or a systematic misalignment between how state and local agencies classify healthcare service contracts and the UNSPSC taxonomy as written. Geographic spread across the opportunities includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Issuers span city and county health systems, county procurement offices, state departments, and judicial branches. No recent opportunities appear to pursue orthopedic inspection services or surgical procedures under this code; the code shows little decision-relevant activity for vendors in that domain.
