UNSPSC 85723008: Revision of drainage device in left ankle joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of drainage device 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 0SWG00Z

UNSPSC 85723008 Revision of drainage device in left ankle joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — does not match the recent opportunities posted under this classification. State and local governments are not soliciting for ankle joint drainage revision services; instead, the code has been applied to solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, disability pension medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and hospital-based emergency and specialty care for youth in detention. This mismatch indicates either miscoding by issuing bodies or use of the UNSPSC number as a placeholder rather than a precise commodity classifier. The recent opportunities span state departments, county governments, and municipal health systems across multiple states and service lines unrelated to orthopedic device revision.

The most recent substantive opportunity under this code was posted by the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries on August 25, 2026 (RFP20260825), requesting occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026; this is a medical examination and record-keeping service, not a surgical procedure. Other recent posts include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determination (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach soliciting for a surgical benefits carve-out program (due October 7, 2026), and Collier County seeking pharmacy benefit management services. Given the persistent misalignment between code definition and posted work, this code does not currently signal actionable procurement opportunity in surgical device revision or orthopedic implant services. Business development professionals should monitor for recoding or request clarification from issuing bodies before investing pursuit resources.
