UNSPSC 85723915: Insertion of spacer into left knee joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0SHD38Z

UNSPSC 85723915 Insertion of spacer into left knee joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it show little alignment with the code's nominal medical procedure scope. The few opportunities on record involve occupational medical surveillance, disability evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve orthopedic knee implantation or percutaneous spacer insertion. The mismatch suggests either inconsistent coding by issuing bodies or that the code is not actively used for its stated clinical purpose in state and local procurement.

The geographic spread of the few tagged opportunities spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. The issuing bodies include state departments, counties, cities, and health systems, though none appear as repeat buyers under this code. Without recent opportunities actually soliciting knee spacer devices or orthopedic implant services, this code presents minimal pursuit opportunity in state and local procurement right now.
