UNSPSC 85724123: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left 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 0SPD4KZ

UNSPSC 85724123 (Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach) is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. Recent opportunities do not solicit for this procedure or related surgical services. Instead, they reflect administrative health services, occupational medicine programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and independent medical evaluations for disability determinations. The issuing bodies across recent posts include city retirement offices, county health systems, county commissioners, state transportation departments, and county probation authorities, spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code appears to be misapplied to health administration and occupational medical services rather than orthopedic surgery procurement.

The most visible recent activity tagged under this code includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications across fire and police pension boards, at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 ferry terminal and shipyard locations; the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) offering pre- and post-care for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, originally due April 9, 2026) managing approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending for 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members. The code shows no direct procurement for the orthopedic surgical procedure its name denotes and should be monitored carefully for actual relevance to orthopedic medical device or surgical service vendors.
