UNSPSC 85723933: Fusion of left ankle joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left ankle joint with synthetic substitute, 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 0SGG3JZ

UNSPSC 85723933 Fusion of left ankle joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that sits at odds with the actual state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, healthcare staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve ankle fusion procedures. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the underlying procurement system or systematic mistagging by issuing bodies; this code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its surgical procedure scope.

The six recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies and geographies with no orthopedic surgical procedure procurement among them. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach solicited proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program emphasizing Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, shoulder, spine, and oncology procedures (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026, now past due); and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Bidders should treat this code as inactive or misclassified for surgical procedure procurement and pursue opportunities only when the specific solicitation is independently verified to match their service scope.
