This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from right 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 0SPF43Z

UNSPSC 85724121 "Removal of infusion device from right ankle joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it. The posted solicitations are for independent medical evaluation services (disability benefit determinations), surgical benefit carve-out programs for public employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these are procedure-specific surgical removals, and they do not appear to be purchasing surgical interventions at all. The mismatch suggests either tagging error in the source data or a use of this procedure code as a catch-all for medical services that does not reflect actual procurement activity under the code's intended scope.

State and local bodies posting under this code over the past three months include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee health benefits administrators (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county corrections and probation authorities (Harris County), county human resources and health consortiums (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and county health systems. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. If the code were actively soliciting its nominal scope—surgical procedure services—business development professionals should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies and consider whether to pursue opportunities only after confirming alignment between the code and the work being bought.
