UNSPSC 85723991: Destruction of left ankle joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 0S5G3ZZ

UNSPSC 85723991 Destruction of left ankle joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical procedure name. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent distinct administrative and clinical service categories (pension disability assessments, employee surgery networks, occupational health exams, juvenile detention care, pharmacy claims processing, and temporary clinical staffing) that do not correspond to the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of these opportunities by issuing bodies or that the code serves a different procurement function in state and local systems than its UNSPSC taxonomy name implies.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California)—with no single jurisdiction posting multiple times. Response deadlines cluster between early October 2026 and April 2027, with contract values where specified ranging from $750,000 over five years (Phoenix medical evaluation RFP 26001, due October 16) to historical spend of $8.7 million annually (Collier County pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026). The geographic scatter across Southwest, West Coast, and national state departments offers no concentration signal. Given the absence of actual ankle-joint destruction procedures in recent postings and the diversity of unrelated clinical-administrative services tagged to this code, the code does not represent a viable procurement category for vendors in orthopedic surgical devices or services.
