This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left ankle joint with autologous tissue 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 0SGG37Z

UNSPSC 85723934 Fusion of left ankle joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that maps to medical examination and administrative support services rather than surgical procedures; the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code reflect a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity. The opportunities solicited—independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out program management, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and clinical ancillary services—are administrative healthcare services, managed-care coordination, and personnel staffing, none involving ankle fusion surgery or orthopedic procedure delivery. The issuing bodies include county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, city retirement offices, and state transportation agencies.

Recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) offering approximately 75 annual disability medical record summaries and examination coordination under a $750,000 five-year contract; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) with cost-weighted evaluation and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, orthopedic, and surgical services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows low relevance to orthopedic surgery procurement and likely reflects a classification error in the source database.
