This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from 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 0SPG4KZ

UNSPSC 85724107 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left ankle joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose title does not align with the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations show no purchases of orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue-substitute removals; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the specific clinical procedure its name describes.

State and local issuing bodies—including county health systems, county commissioners' procurement offices, county juvenile probation departments, city retirement boards, city human resources divisions, and state transportation departments—are using this code designation for a heterogeneous set of health services procurement activities that do not correspond to the surgical procedure the code nominates. The geographic distribution spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with representative opportunities including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code designation appears to be a cataloging artifact rather than a reliable guide to procurement intent under this UNSPSC number.
