UNSPSC 85723719: Revision of spacer in left knee joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of spacer in left knee joint, percutaneous 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 0SWD38Z

UNSPSC 85723719 Revision of spacer in left knee joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity; the code appears to describe a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it concern occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical network carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which constitute the revision of a knee joint spacer. The mismatch between the code's technical surgical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the underlying records or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices are classifying medical service contracts. State and local buyers posting under this code appear to be health systems, county human resources divisions, retirement boards, and state transportation agencies seeking administrative and staffing solutions for occupational health, pension disability evaluation, pharmacy administration, and surgical center-of-excellence network management rather than orthopedic devices or implant-related services.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including municipal retirement systems, county procurement offices, health systems, and state transportation agencies. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services covering shipyard and ferry personnel across 14 locations statewide; the City of Long Beach's RFP HR26753 (due October 7, 2026) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHS FY270052 (due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code shows no recent activity aligned with orthopedic implant procurement or surgical revision procedures.
