UNSPSC 85723952: Fusion of right knee joint with autologous 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 autologous 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 0SGC37Z

UNSPSC 85723952 Fusion of right knee joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code encompass occupational health examinations, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence networks, and emergency inpatient care for detained youth. None of these solicitations concern knee joint fusion procedures or surgical implants. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the upstream procurement system or an exceptionally narrow procedure code repurposed for broader healthcare service procurement.

The six recent opportunities span state departments, counties, cities, and special-purpose health systems across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, proposals due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out through Centers of Excellence for employee health plans, proposals due October 7, 2026), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management covering approximately $8.7 million in annual spending, initial deadline April 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool, proposals due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI responses due September 25, 2026) represent the issuing bodies. These opportunities reflect operational procurement for health plan administration, occupational health compliance, staffing, and medical benefit delivery rather than device procurement or surgical procedure codes. The code does not support actionable targeting under its stated scope.
