UNSPSC 85723417: Removal of spacer from right ankle joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer from right 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 0SPF08Z

UNSPSC 85723417 "Removal of spacer from right ankle joint, open approach" is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent solicitations posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical procedures or implant removal; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code's nominal clinical specificity does not map to the scope of work being solicited by state and local agencies.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities pool include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no clear concentration in any single state. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and the Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management Services RFP (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure title and the health-services procurement being actively solicited suggests systematic misclassification or a data-entry error rather than genuine market demand under this particular code.
