UNSPSC 85723002: Revision of synthetic substitute in left ankle joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in left ankle joint, 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 0SWG0JZ

UNSPSC 85723002 Revision of synthetic substitute in left ankle joint, open approach is a Commodity code that maps poorly to current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical care network management—work that does not involve ankle joint replacement or revision. The mismatch suggests either coding error at the point of entry or a downstream classification anomaly that has routed otherwise unrelated health and human services procurements into this orthopedic surgical taxonomy. State and local governments issuing under the code include county health systems, county commissioners' offices, city retirement boards, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments.

Recent activity shows no true ankle-joint-replacement procurements. Instead, the code's recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary ancillary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services RFP (due April 9, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program RFP (due October 7, 2026). These opportunities are distributed across Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida. Because the recent solicitations do not align with the code's stated scope, the code should be treated as inactive or misclassified for orthopedic surgical procedure purchasing; any business development strategy premised on ankle-joint-revision demand under this UNSPSC would likely misdirect resources.
