This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter 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 0SCC4ZZ

UNSPSC 85724270 Extirpation of matter from right knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under its stated code name. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it reflect instead a broad range of health services procurement—occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve the orthopedic procedure the code describes; the mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this UNSPSC category serves as a catch-all for certain health-services purchases rather than a precise procedure-level classifier.

The opportunities originating from state departments, counties, and health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington reflect demand for occupational health compliance, benefits administration, managed-care networks, and clinical staffing rather than surgical procedures. The City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31) represent the most operationally defined recent solicitations. The City of Long Beach is seeking a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Business development professionals should verify that opportunities tagged to this code align with their actual service scope before investing in pursuit, as the code's abstract definition does not reflect the diversity of health-services work state and local buyers are currently advertising.
