UNSPSC 85723919: Insertion of spacer into right knee joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0SHC38Z

UNSPSC 85723919 Insertion of spacer into right knee joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that bears no relationship to recent state and local procurement activity under this classification. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve orthopedic implant insertion or knee joint procedures. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement data or a definitional disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies are actually tagging their medical services solicitations. The code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing orthopedic implant or surgical procedure opportunities in state and local government.

The six identified opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity clusters in Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas with no clear concentration. Representative recent work includes the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for public safety retirees; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) covering knee, hip, spine, and oncology procedures for municipal employees; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). None of these solicitations procure knee spacer implants or related orthopedic devices.
