This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of spacer 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 0SWG08Z

UNSPSC 85723003 Revision of spacer in left ankle joint, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under it actually span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations do not correspond to orthopedic joint spacer revision procedures; rather, they reflect healthcare administration, occupational medicine, and staffing services. State and local procurement bodies tagging work under this code are issuing cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System), each seeking different healthcare operational and staffing solutions. The code shows no actual procurement activity for joint surgical procedures or related medical devices.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix, October 16, 2026 RFP deadline for independent medical evaluation services supporting public safety pension disability determinations), California (City of Long Beach, October 7, 2026 RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; Santa Clara County Health System, October 7, 2026 RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical specialties), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation, October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance across fourteen ferry system locations), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, September 25, 2026 RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), and Florida (Collier County, April 9, 2026 RFP for pharmacy benefit management services). The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure title and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or a data-quality issue within the state and local procurement systems.
