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 0SUD4KZ

UNSPSC 85724055 Supplement left knee joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under it do not align with that scope. Instead, state and local bodies have tagged the code to a diverse array of health services solicitations—independent medical evaluation for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve knee joint supplementation or orthopedic implant procurement. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the underlying procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for health services procurement outside its intended commodity definition.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing-body types. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, budgeted at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach (California) posted an RFP for a surgical carve-out benefit program due October 7, 2026, covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026, spanning 14 ferry system locations; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services due September 25, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System (California) posted an RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. These solicitations reflect county health systems, state transportation departments, and municipal retirement offices, but the underlying commodity code does not meaningfully describe the work being bought.
