UNSPSC 85724005: Revision of external fixation device in left ankle joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in left ankle joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0SWG45Z

UNSPSC 85724005 Revision of external fixation device in left ankle joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not match the recent opportunities tagged under it, which instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve external fixation devices or ankle joint procedures. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for goods and services they actually purchase.

Recent activity appears across multiple issuing bodies—county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation, and municipal retirement offices—and spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. However, the disconnect between the code's clinical definition and the medical-services and health-benefit procurements tagged to it indicates this Commodity code lacks decision-relevant market signals for vendors pursuing state and local contracts in external fixation devices or orthopedic implants.
