This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right ankle joint, 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 0SCF3ZZ

UNSPSC 85723968 Extirpation of matter from right ankle joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not describe the work state and local governments are actually buying under recent solicitations tagged with this code. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit program administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures on the ankle joint. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the tagging mismatch suggests either a cataloging error or assignment of multiple unrelated medical service categories to a single UNSPSC identifier by the issuing bodies.

The six recent opportunities span state departments, counties, and municipal bodies in Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry employees across 14 locations, due October 9, 2026, with cost accounting for 40 percent of the evaluation score; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the recent solicitations, readers should verify the correct UNSPSC code for each opportunity before pursuing.
