UNSPSC 85724029: Revision of external fixation device in right knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0SWC45Z

UNSPSC 85724029 Revision of external fixation device in right knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. Recent solicitations posted under this code involve occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, medical surveillance, emergency youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with orthopedic surgical device revision. The code appears to be a mislabeling or system classification error rather than an accurate descriptor of what state and local governments are buying under this tag.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, county commissioners, state transportation departments, and county probation agencies. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually). The mismatch between the code's nominal orthopedic scope and the range of medical administrative and staffing services actually being solicited signals minimal relevance for firms pursuing opportunities labeled under this code.
