UNSPSC 85723541 Fusion of right ankle joint with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The recent solicitations in the block are instead buying occupational medical surveillance services, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical centers of excellence carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve ankle fusion surgery or surgical hardware. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated procedural scope.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities includes Arizona (Phoenix), Washington State (Ferries operations), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies spanning city retirement offices, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county probation departments. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington Ferries locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), neither of which involves the orthopedic procedure the code describes.
