UNSPSC 85723816 Removal of synthetic substitute from right ankle joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect actual procurement of that service. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, pension-system disability medical evaluations, Center of Excellence surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's stated scope of a targeted ankle joint procedure. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement, and the mismatch between the code's name and the work actually being solicited suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or the code's unsuitability for the opportunities posted under it.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county commissioners' procurement offices (Collier County), city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state departments of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and health-system procurement units. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit management through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026, with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, with a two-year term and options to extend for up to five additional one-year periods.
