UNSPSC 85723935: Fusion of left ankle joint with external fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left ankle joint with external fixation device, 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 0SGG35Z

UNSPSC 85723935 Fusion of left ankle joint with external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities on record. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefits programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve ankle fusion procedures or external fixation devices. This systematic mismatch suggests either a data classification error in how opportunities are tagged to the code or that the code itself is not in active use for state and local procurement in this market segment.

No recent state and local opportunities are being solicited under UNSPSC 85723935 for the surgical procedure it nominally describes. The opportunities appearing in this code's record span multiple issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) — but their actual procurement activity falls outside orthopedic or surgical procedure codes. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their service line before pursuing opportunities under this code, as the current tagging does not reflect the work actually being solicited.
