This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into left 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 0SHD08Z

UNSPSC 85723515 Insertion of spacer into left knee joint, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little relevant activity aligned with that clinical scope. The opportunities posted under this code instead reflect healthcare administration and service delivery contracts — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic implant procurement or knee joint procedures. The issuing bodies span county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida), county health and behavioral health departments (San Mateo County), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica). The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch rather than a genuine procurement category for state and local activity.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida and California, with one solicitation from Georgia. The most recent opportunities include Muscogee County's RFP No. 26-0008 (due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, Collier County's RFP 25-8414 (posted April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million, Monroe County's RFP (due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members, San Mateo County's MHSA Innovation pilot for peer support services totaling $580,000, and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director (posted September 25, 2025). This code shows no meaningful recent procurement activity in orthopedic implants, medical devices, or surgical procedures — the mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual solicitation content suggests the code is not an active or relevant category for state and local business development in the current market.
