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 0SBF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85723608 Excision of right ankle joint, open approach (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The five most recent opportunities posted under 85723608 cover inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and medical direction for a fire department EMS program — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or ankle joint excision. The code's nominal taxonomy suggests clinical orthopedic surgery, but the actual solicitations reflect health plan administration, correctional healthcare contracting, virtual care delivery, and behavioral health support services that fall outside surgical procedure scope.

The issuing bodies are county and municipal health and human services agencies: Muscogee County Prison (operating under Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department), Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, San Mateo County Health in California, and Santa Monica Fire Department in California. Recent opportunities span Florida (Collier and Monroe counties), Georgia (Muscogee County), and California (San Mateo County), with activity concentrated in county-level contracting for healthcare administration and emergency services support rather than surgical procurement. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code designation and the actual work being bought suggests this code may be tagged inconsistently in state and local procurement systems, or the opportunities listed do not reflect the code's intended scope.
