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 0SNC3ZZ

UNSPSC 85723858 Release right knee joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not see meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's clinical specification—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the five recent state and local opportunities posted under this code. Those solicitations instead cover inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for a county health consortium, virtual primary and urgent care services for county employees, mental health peer support services for a behavioral health agency, and fire department medical direction. None involve knee joint release procedures or surgical implants. The code appears to be a data-classification mismatch rather than an active market segment for orthopedic device procurement.

The issuing bodies span counties (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California), reflecting administrative health purchasing and clinical oversight roles rather than procurement of surgical supplies. The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California, with no clustering that suggests concentrated demand for the knee procedure itself. The absence of recent opportunities genuinely targeting orthopedic surgical supplies or procedures—even when multiple opportunities are tagged to this code—indicates that the code is either rarely used by state and local procurement offices for its intended clinical purpose or is systematically misapplied in their systems. Business development professionals should verify the actual scope of work their firm intends to pursue before investing in pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
