UNSPSC 85723245: Replacement of left ankle joint with synthetic substitute, uncemented, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left ankle joint with synthetic substitute, uncemented, 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 0SRG0JA

UNSPSC 85723245 Replacement of left ankle joint with synthetic substitute, uncemented, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities show state and local governments tagging this code to medical services and health benefit administration work that does not match the orthopedic implant or procedure category. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 — spanning independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — are administrative, clinical staffing, and benefit-management services that fall outside orthopedic implant procurement or ankle replacement surgery. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county government procurement divisions (Collier County), and county health systems (County of Santa Clara).

The opportunities span multiple states with no geographic concentration: Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (state-level), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical implant procedure — and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding at the source or that this Commodity code does not capture state and local procurement for ankle joint replacements or related orthopedic hardware. Firms pursuing state and local medical device, surgical implant, or orthopedic procedure-related business should treat this code as inactive or misaligned and look to related Family or Class codes for relevant opportunities in the health care and medical device procurement space.
