This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in left ankle joint, percutaneous 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 0SWG3JZ

UNSPSC 85723702 Revision of synthetic substitute in left ankle joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and the state and local procurement activity actually using the code. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve ankle joint procedures or orthopedic surgical revision services. Instead, they reflect health benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and disability medical evaluation services — none of which map to the code's stated procedure title. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily municipal health systems, county health authorities, and city retirement offices managing employee health plans, occupational safety compliance, and benefits administration rather than procuring orthopedic surgical services or implantable devices.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara, Collier County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). The code exhibits a significant disconnect between its UNSPSC designation and procurement practice, suggesting either a tagging error in the sourced opportunities or obsolescence of the code's relevance to current state and local health services buying.
