This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left ankle bursa and ligament, 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 0M5R0ZZ

UNSPSC 85672059 Destruction of left ankle bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures on the ankle. The mismatch suggests either a data error in the sourcing system or a systematic miscoding of healthcare-procurement activities under this surgical code. Based on the opportunities presented, state and local governments are actively procuring occupational health services, medical evaluation and record management, specialty care coordination through centers of excellence, and clinical staffing; they are not soliciting ankle bursa destruction procedures under this code.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies including state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipal government (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with activity concentrated in California, Arizona, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 WSF locations (proposals due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation RFSQHHSFY270052 establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work). The code shows no relevant recent activity for the surgical procedure it nominally describes.
