UNSPSC 85723601: Extirpation of matter from left ankle joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left ankle joint, 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 0SCG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85723601, Extirpation of matter from left ankle joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code by state and local issuing bodies involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which involve the direct performance of ankle joint surgery. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how opportunities are tagged in the source system or that this code sees minimal relevant procurement activity at the state and local level.

The six recent opportunities span disparate issuing bodies and geographies with no coherent procurement pattern under the code's nominal scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical benefit management (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services (due September 25, 2026); Collier County solicited pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System sought temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). None of these procurements involve orthopedic surgical procedures performed on state or local beneficiaries. Pursuit of opportunities under this code is not recommended without clarification of the underlying procurement intent.
