This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left ankle joint with synthetic substitute, 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 0SGG0JZ

UNSPSC 85723533 Fusion of left ankle joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 solicit medical services administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefits management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care network management, and detention-facility healthcare — none of which involve ankle fusion procedures or implantable medical devices. The mismatch indicates either tagging error in the source system or use of this code as a placeholder with no actual procurement relevance to the work being bought.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code span county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and city employee-benefits procurement offices (City of Long Beach). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (response due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million. Given the consistent absence of any ankle fusion or orthopedic implant procurement in the recent-opportunities record, pursuit under this code is not recommended without independent verification that opportunities are being mislabeled at source.
