This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right ankle bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0MTQ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85672236 Resection of right ankle bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its surgical procedure title. The code's nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical intervention — does not map to the state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. Recent solicitations instead reflect a mismatch: the opportunities target occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and specialty surgery carve-outs for employee health plans. None involve actual surgical procedures, particularly ankle procedures. The issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), cities (Long Beach, Phoenix), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and health systems. The geographic spread spans California, Arizona, Florida, Washington, and Texas based on recent posts.

The source does not support treating this code as a live procurement category. State and local procurement offices appear to be using the code as a catch-all tag for healthcare and medical services that do not align with its procedural specificity. Representatives of recent activity include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (posted September 16, 2026, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (posted August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026). The code's coding appears erroneous or represents a system-level classification error rather than genuine procurement intent for the surgical procedure named.
