UNSPSC 85723011: Revision of spacer in right ankle joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of spacer in right 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 0SWF08Z

UNSPSC 85723011 Revision of spacer in right ankle joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the state and local procurement activity appearing in the source records. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure (replacement of an ankle joint spacer via open surgical technique), yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic implant procedures or ankle joint revision surgery. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or a deliberate administrative tagging decision at the issuing bodies' procurement offices. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal orthopedic scope.

No state or local government solicitations in the source record are actively procuring orthopedic spacer devices, ankle joint revision procedures, or related surgical implants under UNSPSC 85723011. Firms pursuing orthopedic implant supply or surgical procedure contracts with state and local health systems, county hospitals, or school district clinics should monitor alternative UNSPSC categories more closely aligned to medical device procurement or specialty surgical services, and consult directly with target jurisdictions' procurement offices to confirm their actual coding practices.
