UNSPSC 85723834: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right 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 right 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 0SPC37Z

UNSPSC 85723834 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right knee joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the six recent opportunities posted under it between July and September 2026 do not align with this scope. The opportunities instead cover independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the removal of autologous tissue substitutes from knee joints.

This mismatch between the code's narrow clinical descriptor and the diverse health services being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or incidental tagging of a rarely used Commodity code. State and local issuers posting these opportunities — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) — are pursuing health services contracting that bears no operational relationship to orthopedic tissue removal. Firms targeting this code should verify actual procurement intent through RFP text and direct contact with issuing offices rather than rely on the UNSPSC classification.
