UNSPSC 85723807: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left ankle joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from 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 0SPG3KZ

UNSPSC 85723807 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left ankle joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with little recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—removal of prosthetic tissue from an ankle joint using a minimally invasive approach—but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not involve this service. Instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs for municipal health plans. These are administrative healthcare services, staffing, and benefit-plan management, not orthopedic procedures. The mismatch suggests that either the code was incorrectly applied during opportunity classification or state and local procurement offices are using the code as a catchall for medical services broader than the procedure name implies.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting the standard diversity of state and local purchasing. Among the tagged opportunities, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluations for disability benefit applications ($750,000 maximum over five years, RFP due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System opened a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple specialties (due October 7, 2026). Geographic concentration appears light—opportunities originated in Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida. Given the code's narrow nominal scope and the absence of actual surgical-procedure procurement in the recent opportunities, this code does not represent a practical pursuit vector for firms offering ankle surgery or tissue replacement services.
