UNSPSC 85723408: Removal of synthetic substitute from left ankle joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left 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 0SPG0JZ

UNSPSC 85723408 Removal of synthetic substitute from left ankle joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the state and local opportunities currently tagged to it. The recent solicitations posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency services for detained youth. None of these opportunities solicit the orthopedic implant removal procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for diverse medical services.

The geographic spread of tagged opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Cities of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with response dates concentrated in September and October 2026. Without opportunities actually soliciting ankle joint synthetic-substitute removal services—whether as implant procurement, surgical facility services, or orthopedic supplies—the code presents no actionable market signal for firms pursuing state and local work in its stated scope.
