UNSPSC 85723246 Replacement of left ankle joint with synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not align with the code's nominal medical-device scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect medical services contracting—occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve orthopedic implant procurement or surgical implantation. The issuing bodies include state health systems and departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, County of Santa Clara Health System), county governments and pension boards (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, City of Phoenix Retirement Office, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and cities (City of Long Beach). No repeat buyers appear across the recent sample.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in a single region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, RFP, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record review and coordination of physician examinations for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications at a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, RFP, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations across 14 ferry terminals with a two-year initial term and optional extensions; and the County of Santa Clara Health System qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, RFP, due October 7, 2026) establishing a non-exclusive vendor pool for temporary clinical staffing across 13 ancillary health professional categories. The code shows little activity relevant to orthopedic implant procurement; the tagging appears to be a classification error on the state and local side.
