UNSPSC 85724124 Removal of synthetic substitute from left knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that state and local procurement offices have tagged to a range of medical services and benefits management solicitations, though the code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the actual work being bought in recent opportunities. The recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and requests for information on specialty medical services for youth in detention. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal benefits administrators. This disconnect between the code's name and the solicitations it tags suggests either a data quality issue in the procurement system or categorical misalignment at source.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas.
