UNSPSC 85723992: Destruction of right ankle joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0S5F3ZZ

UNSPSC 85723992 Destruction of right ankle joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this taxonomy designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and pharmacy benefit management services — none of which align with the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county boards of commissioners; this mix reflects the diversity of public agencies managing employee health benefits, occupational compliance, and clinical operations. The geographic spread spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (statewide), and Texas (Harris County), with activity concentrated in larger metropolitan and county jurisdictions.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summary preparation and scheduling of independent medical examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension disability applications on a $750,000 five-year contract; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 statewide locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent procurement activity, suggesting either systematic miscoding in the source data or that this commodity designation is rarely used for actual orthopedic surgical procedures at the state and local level.
