UNSPSC 85724117 Removal of spacer from right ankle joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code focus on occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, emergency medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic implant removal or joint procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in state procurement systems or that this Commodity code is not seeing active solicitation aligned with its nominal scope.

The geographic distribution of recent opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office disability evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical carve-out and Santa Clara temporary staffing), Washington (Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County juvenile detention medical services). No representative recent opportunities directly align with the orthopedic procedure named in the code. State and local procurement activity tagged to this code does not currently support business development targeting orthopedic surgical services or implant removal work.
