UNSPSC 85723950: Fusion of right knee joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right knee joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0SGC3KZ

UNSPSC 85723950 Fusion of right knee joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code procure medical evaluation services, health plan carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or implants. The code's nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure) is incongruent with the actual procurement activity posted against it, suggesting a taxonomy alignment issue rather than a material market signal for this particular procedure within state and local procurement.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health and human services departments (Harris County, Collier County), and special districts (Santa Clara Health System). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, due April 9, 2026). Given the absence of any recent state or local solicitation for knee-joint fusion procedures or related surgical implants under this code, the code shows no meaningful procurement activity aligned with its nominal definition.
