UNSPSC 85723549: Fusion of 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 0SGC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85723549 Fusion of right knee joint, open approach is a Commodity code that state and local governments have not solicited under in recent procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure code, but the most recent state and local opportunities posted under this UNSPSC span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve knee fusion surgery or orthopedic surgical procedures as discrete, billable line items under public procurement. This represents a classification mismatch: the code appears to have been applied incorrectly to health administration and staffing solicitations rather than to the specific surgical service its nomenclature describes.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipal health systems, and pension boards (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Recent representative opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), neither of which relates to orthopedic surgery. The absence of procurement activity aligned with the code's actual scope signals limited near-term opportunity under this Commodity code for vendors offering knee fusion or related orthopedic surgical services.
