This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of right knee region with autologous 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 0Y0F07Z

UNSPSC 85782362 Alteration of right knee region with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that represents a specific surgical procedure code within the clinical taxonomy. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with orthopedic surgical procedures; instead, they reflect administrative healthcare services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary staffing placements. The code does not represent what state and local governments are actually procuring today. Recent solicitations span independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, Centers of Excellence networks for surgical procedure carve-outs, occupational health examinations for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical care coordination, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing—none of which corresponds to the code's nominal scope of performing autologous tissue knee replacement surgery.

The issuing bodies span state health agencies, county health systems and commissioners' offices, municipal retirement boards, transit authorities, and special-purpose public health programs. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (on behalf of pension boards), the City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (for state ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System represent recent activity across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. The Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) seeks disability record summaries and coordination of physician examinations at up to $750,000 over five years; Long Beach's RFP for surgical carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026) targets Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures serving approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees; and Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026) requires occupational medicine board certification and examinations across 14 ferry locations. The code assignment appears inconsistent with procurement intent, and firms evaluating this code should verify whether it reflects a data-entry error in the source systems rather than a genuine market signal.
