This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer 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 0SPD48Z

UNSPSC 85724125, Removal of spacer from left knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The source shows no active solicitations requesting this specific orthopedic surgical procedure or related implant removal services. Instead, the six recent opportunities tagged under or near this code address independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the procurement or execution of the orthopedic procedure named in the code. The mismatch indicates either miscoding of these opportunities by issuing bodies or category taxonomy drift within state and local procurement systems that does not reflect the code's intended scope.

Given the absence of relevant recent opportunities, the code shows little current market activity for business development targeting state and local agencies seeking this particular surgical service. The few opportunities that do touch surgical procedures — such as the City of Long Beach's carve-out for knee and orthopedic procedures through Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) — are procurement vehicles for contracted networks and administration, not direct surgical supply or service delivery. Vendors engaged in orthopedic implant supply, surgical instrumentation, or procedure-level medical device distribution should monitor this code's activity closely, as state and local bodies occasionally use misaligned codes when sourcing specialty medical services, but current signals do not support active pursuit under this code.
