This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer from right ankle joint, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85723817, Removal of spacer from right ankle joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 tagged under this code span medical administration and staffing services—including independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—but none involve orthopedic joint procedures or surgical removal of spacers. The code's narrow clinical procedure description does not match the scope of administrative, occupational health, or staffing services being solicited by state and local agencies under it.

Issuing bodies range across city retirement offices, county boards, state transportation departments, health systems, and county juvenile probation departments in Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries requested occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals statewide (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach solicited surgical benefit carve-out services for its Anthem PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services serving approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical spending of $8.7 million annually (RFP 25-8414); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows limited relevance to actual orthopedic or surgical procedure procurement at the state and local level.
