This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right knee joint with synthetic 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 0SGC3JZ

UNSPSC 85723951, Fusion of right knee joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect procurement of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the orthopedic implant or surgical intervention the code purports to represent. The mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or the code's use as a catch-all for health-services procurement categories not well served by other UNSPSC taxonomy.

The six recent opportunities span four states and multiple issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefit management, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing, RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no standout repeat buyers. Absent clearer alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual opportunities, this code warrants secondary priority pending clarification of its intended use within state and local procurement offices.
