UNSPSC 85723552 Fusion of right knee joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little to no alignment with the nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code reflect a broad range of healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit management services—including independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure title and the actual work being solicited indicates either a data classification issue or a broad interpretation of the code that extends well beyond orthopedic surgery. State and local issuing bodies using this code include municipal retirement offices (Phoenix), city employee benefit programs (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Ferries), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources and health departments (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional health systems.

Geographic activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida based on the recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and an October 16, 2026 due date; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations with an October 9, 2026 due date and October 20, 2026 apparent successful bidder announcement; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees with an October 7, 2026 due date and targeted April 1, 2027 contract go-live; and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with an October 7, 2026 due date and no guaranteed work volume. Bidders should verify that responses address the actual scope of work posted rather than the clinical procedure implied by the code number.
