This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left knee joint with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0SGD07Z

UNSPSC 85723546 Fusion of left knee joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect clinical surgical services at all. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code cover independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing placement, and surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration — none of which involve the performance of the knee fusion procedure itself. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity aligned with its stated medical procedure scope. State and local buyers using this code appear to be sourcing administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and clinical staffing rather than surgical intervention.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), which sought medical record review and disability examination coordination for approximately 75 annual applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's request for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code does not demonstrate a clear pattern of procurement aligned with its stated orthopedic surgical procedure classification.
