UNSPSC 85782209 Supplement left knee region with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with orthopedic implant procurement or surgical services delivery. Instead, the recent solicitations under this code span occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out programs for employee benefits — none of which involve knee supplementation or tissue substitutes. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source database or that this code is being applied to miscellaneous healthcare services procurement outside its intended scope. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), county boards (Collier County, Harris County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), regional health systems (Santa Clara), and municipal employee benefit programs (Long Beach). No clear pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration emerges from the recent opportunities.

Recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology services for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishing a five-year qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories. Opportunities are concentrated in California, Arizona, and Washington, with limited indication that this code meaningfully captures knee supplementation or implant procurement activity at the state and local level.
