UNSPSC 85782355: Alteration of left knee region, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left knee region, open 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 0Y0G0ZZ

UNSPSC 85782355 Alteration of left knee region, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this designation involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out coordination through Centers of Excellence, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in detention, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations fall outside orthopedic surgery and appear to reflect broader healthcare administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing services rather than operative knee procedures. The misalignment suggests either miscoding in the source data or use of an inapplicable taxonomy for healthcare procurement in these jurisdictions.

Activity under the code is limited and geographically scattered, with recent opportunities from Arizona, California, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal locations (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); Collier County posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the scope mismatch, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local surgical or orthopedic contracting opportunities.
