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 0SBD0ZZ

UNSPSC 85723609 Excision of left knee joint, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities indexed under it show no alignment with surgical services. Instead, the code appears in procurement activity for comprehensive healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care platforms, peer mental health support, and emergency medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or excision procedures. The mismatch suggests a tagging error in how opportunities are classified under this code within state and local procurement databases.

The five recent opportunities span county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida) and a city fire department (Santa Monica, California), with one proposal from a county behavioral health division (San Mateo County, California). These opportunities range from inmate medical and pharmacy services (RFP 26-0008, Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department, due May 15, 2026) through pharmacy benefit management for county employees (RFP 25-8414, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, due April 9, 2026), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County, due April 16, 2026), peer support staffing for mental health workers (San Mateo County BHRS, due July 2, 2025), and EMS medical direction (Santa Monica Fire Department, due October 16, 2025). Geographic activity centers on California and Florida, with Georgia also represented. Given the absence of any recent opportunities actually soliciting orthopedic surgical services or knee procedures under this code, the code shows little relevant procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope.
