UNSPSC 85723826: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left knee joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from 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 0SPD37Z

UNSPSC 85723826 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left knee joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that exhibits a fundamental mismatch between its clinical procedure taxonomy label and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue removal; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. State and local issuing bodies applying this code appear to be treating it as a catch-all medical services category rather than a specific surgical procedure code. The mix of recent solicitors includes state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and special-purpose boards (Phoenix Fire Pension Board, Phoenix Police Pension Board). No vendor or issuing body appears more than once in the recent opportunities, and the scope of work ranges from occupational health exams to pension disability medical record reviews to managed care network administration.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a response deadline of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 WSF locations due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach RFP HR26753 for surgical procedure carve-out benefits management due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing qualifications across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope as an orthopedic surgical procedure code, and the diversity of unrelated medical services tagged to it suggests significant coding inconsistency in the state and local procurement ecosystem for this Commodity category.
