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 0SGG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85723531 Fusion of left ankle joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not involve the procurement of surgical services for ankle fusion. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code reflect administrative, occupational health, and benefits-management activities entirely unrelated to surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or a significant divergence between the code's abstract definition and its current application in state and local contracting.

The recent opportunities include medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP due October 16, 2026), surgical benefits carve-out program management for government employee plans (City of Long Beach, RFP due October 7, 2026), occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP due October 9, 2026), specialty healthcare procurement for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI due September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County, RFP), and temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical roles (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFP due October 7, 2026). These solicitations span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The code shows no recent activity that involves surgical procedure procurement, orthopedic implants, surgical facility services, or other activities aligned with the code's nominal scope of ankle fusion surgery.
