UNSPSC 85723539 Fusion of right ankle joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a clinical procedure classification bearing no meaningful relationship to actual state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic joint fusion procedures or their surgical supplies. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all or administrative artifact rather than as a genuine match to the scope of work being solicited.

State and local issuing bodies using this code include county pension boards and retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), county human resources and health systems (Collier County, County of Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026 and a five-year contract value of $750,000; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-outs targeting October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the orthopedic surgical procedure or implant materials its nominal title describes.
