UNSPSC 85723829 Removal of infusion device from left knee joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity in the recent solicitation record. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the most recent opportunities tagged under it cover occupational medical surveillance, disability retirement medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical center-of-excellence networks—none of which involve infusion device removal or knee joint procedures. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being purchased signals either a systematic cataloging error in how these opportunities were tagged or a fundamental divergence between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement systems are applying it.

The opportunities that appear under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), and cities (Long Beach, Phoenix). Geographic activity spans Washington, Florida, California, Arizona, and Texas, with no clear concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (response deadline October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability benefit determinations (October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (October 7, 2026). Because the code's stated definition does not align with the scope of these opportunities, business development professionals should treat this code as unreliable for procurement targeting and cross-reference actual commodity or service descriptions from RFP postings rather than relying on UNSPSC classification alone.
