UNSPSC 85723251 Replacement of right ankle joint with synthetic substitute, cemented, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity appearing in recent opportunities tagged under this code. The recent solicitations retrieved under this code cover medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, health professional staffing, specialty surgical benefit administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic implant procurement or surgical procedures. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch in the state and local procurement system; the opportunities posted under it address healthcare services contracting and benefits administration rather than medical device supply or surgical implant replacement.

The issuing bodies soliciting under these opportunities span multiple jurisdiction types: a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), and municipal government (City of Long Beach). Recent activity includes the Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum contract value over five years (RFP due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach procuring a surgical benefit carve-out program for its Anthem PPO plan (RFP due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Ferries purchasing occupational medical surveillance services across 14 locations statewide (RFP due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFP due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington with no clear concentration. This code shows little relevant recent activity for orthopedic implant or joint replacement suppliers; pursue only if your firm is actively marketing healthcare services administration, medical staffing, or benefits management to state and local health systems and government agencies.
