UNSPSC 85723534: Fusion of left ankle joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left ankle joint with autologous tissue 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 0SGG07Z

UNSPSC 85723534 Fusion of left ankle joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with orthopedic surgery services. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement of occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty medical networks for government employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve ankle fusion procedures or tissue substitute grafting. The code appears to be a mis-tagging artifact rather than an active procurement category for state and local governments. No solicitations present in the source material actually seek ankle fusion surgeries or related implant materials.

No actionable procurement activity aligns with the code's stated scope. The source contains six recent opportunities (posting dates ranging from July through September 2026) across diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—but each addresses distinct medical service categories unrelated to orthopedic joint procedures. Bidders and vendors pursuing state and local opportunities in this code should verify accurate UNSPSC classification with issuing procurement offices before proceeding, as the current tagging does not reflect actual market demand for ankle fusion or tissue substitute services.
