UNSPSC 85722811: Revision of spacer in right ankle joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of spacer in right ankle joint, external 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 0SWFX8Z

UNSPSC 85722811 Revision of spacer in right ankle joint, external approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, but the opportunities solicited reflect a mix of occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve ankle joint surgery or device implantation. The code taxonomy appears misapplied across these opportunities; there is no coherent procurement category reflected in the recent activity.

The issuing bodies span state health systems (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries; County of Santa Clara Health System), county departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department; Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office). Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending of $8.7 million. Geographic activity centers on California, Washington, Arizona, Florida, and Texas. The code shows no substantive recent activity aligned with its stated orthopedic surgical scope and should be considered inactive or misclassified for state and local procurement purposes.
