UNSPSC 85724131: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right 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 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 0SPC4KZ

UNSPSC 85724131 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, health professional temporary staffing, surgical center-of-excellence benefit administration, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve tissue removal or orthopedic surgical procedures. State and local purchasing offices appear to have misapplied this surgical-procedure code to broader healthcare service categories, creating a fundamental classification mismatch that renders the code unsuitable for business development targeting.

Recent activity spans diverse issuing bodies including city pension boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal employee benefits offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the opportunities themselves address healthcare administration, staffing, and service delivery rather than surgical procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) solicited disability medical evaluation services; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) sought surgical center-of-excellence network administration; and the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requested occupational medical surveillance. These represent the scope of work currently posted under the code, but none align with the procedure named in the code's title. The code's classification appears to reflect data-entry error rather than meaningful procurement intent, and firms pursuing opportunities in healthcare services should rely on higher-level family and class codes rather than this misaligned commodity designation.
