UNSPSC 85672160 Division of right ankle bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure (orthopedic ankle surgery), yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code reflect procurement of occupational and disability medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans — none of which involve the procedural work the code nominally names. The mismatch indicates that state and local procurement systems are applying this code to medical administration and benefits contracting rather than to direct surgical intervention.

The recent activity itself spans diverse issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record review and independent medical examinations), the City of Long Beach (employee health plan surgical benefit networks), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spend of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026). This code does not reflect meaningful procurement opportunity for vendors offering the ankle surgery procedure itself.
