UNSPSC 85724116, Removal of synthetic substitute from right ankle joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal orthopedic surgical scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code is tagged to opportunities that are actually purchasing occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical care networks, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve ankle joint surgery or prosthetic removal. The issuing bodies span diverse public sectors: city retirement systems (Phoenix), municipal health departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Ferries), county judicial systems (Harris County), county general administration (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). This code displays no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated procedure title.

The geographic spread of the tagged opportunities spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, but the activities themselves bear no connection to the Commodity code's orthopedic surgical classification. Without recent state and local contract opportunities that actually solicit ankle joint surgical services or prosthetic removal work, the code does not present actionable procurement intelligence for vendors in orthopedic surgery, prosthetics, or related medical device supply. The tagging appears to reflect a data or classification error rather than active demand under this code's nominal scope.
