This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left knee region with synthetic substitute, percutaneous 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 0Y0G3JZ

UNSPSC 85782535 Alteration of left knee region with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical procedure networks, youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures described in the code's nominal title. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the source material or a systematic misclassification issue within the issuing bodies' internal procurement systems. State and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevance to the code's stated scope.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies spanning city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation departments. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations, due October 9, 2026. Without correct code assignment, pursuit recommendations should focus on the actual service lines being bought rather than the orthopedic surgery code as currently labeled.
