UNSPSC 85724293: Destruction of left knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0S5D4ZZ

UNSPSC 85724293 Destruction of left knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities solicited encompass independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical networks for surgical procedures, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the performance or destruction of knee joints via percutaneous endoscopic approach. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the tagging system or that this code is used in state and local procurement for administrative or contractual purposes unrelated to its clinical definition.

The recent opportunities show little relevant activity under the code's nominal scope. State and local issuers in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington have posted six solicitations since late July 2026, but none target the surgical procedure itself. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach solicited surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026). Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for hospital-based and specialty medical services (due September 25, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). These represent administrative health contracting, benefits management, and staffing procurement rather than the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
