UNSPSC 85723102 Resection of right ankle joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical description—a surgical procedure to remove or repair an ankle joint—bears no relationship to the healthcare administrative, management, and primary care contracting that state and local governments are actively buying under this code tag.

Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services management, pharmacy benefit administration for county health plans, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve surgical procedures or orthopedic intervention. The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; and San Mateo County, California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either a cataloging error or a systematic misapplication of this code to non-surgical healthcare contracting. Without recent opportunities that align with the code's stated surgical focus, this code shows little relevant activity for firms pursuing state and local healthcare procurement tied to its documented definition.
