This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter 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 0SCD4ZZ

UNSPSC 85724269 Extirpation of matter from left knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations posted under it reflect occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These opportunities span medical administration, benefits management, and staffing services rather than orthopedic surgical interventions. The mismatch indicates either miscoding by issuing bodies or a taxonomy designation that no longer reflects current procurement practice under this code number.

State and local purchasing offices in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington have posted opportunities tagged to this code over the past three months, but none involves orthopedic surgery, implant procurement, surgical facility services, or the clinical scope the code name suggests. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applications; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) solicits surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requests occupational medical surveillance; Harris County Juvenile Probation issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services; Collier County (RFP 25-8414) solicits pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County Health System (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) seeks temporary ancillary health professional staffing. No issuing body has posted a procurement for the orthopedic surgical service the code nominally describes. This code shows little relevant recent activity and vendors in orthopedic surgery, medical devices, or surgical services should verify coding before pursuing opportunities listed under this number.
