UNSPSC 85782356: Alteration of left knee region with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left knee region with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0Y0G0KZ

UNSPSC 85782356 Alteration of left knee region with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification. The source records show six recent solicitations—five of which address occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, employee health benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or prosthetic implantation. The single opportunity that references knee procedures (the City of Long Beach's surgical carve-out RFP) addresses Centers of Excellence networks and bundled payment models for pre- and post-operative care coordination, not the surgical procedure itself. The code appears to be a medical-services classification misapplied to administrative health procurement, suggesting either a categorization error in the jurisdiction's tagging system or extremely limited recent activity under the code's actual scope.

State and local procurement under this code shows no verifiable recent activity aligned with orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue-substitute implantation. The opportunities instead reflect health plan administration, occupational screening, and staffing services across Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office, Washington State Ferries), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). If orthopedic surgical services or implant supply is your focus, this code's recent signal is absent; consider whether opportunities are tagged under alternative codes or bundled within broader health-plan carve-out or managed-care solicitations. The code warrants close monitoring only if your firm pursues disability medical evaluation or occupational health contracts, but those activities are not the code's stated scope.
