This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0SHF48Z

UNSPSC 85724211 Insertion of spacer into right ankle joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's title describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to the procedural code itself and instead reflect general healthcare service categories—occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and specialty surgical carve-out benefits. State and local procurement systems occasionally tag opportunities with clinical procedure codes that do not match the work actually being solicited; this appears to be a tagging or classification mismatch rather than genuine activity under the code's defined scope.

The six recent opportunities posted under this code reveal that the underlying purchases are administrative and clinical support services delivered by health systems, counties, and municipalities to manage employee benefits, occupational health compliance, and specialty care networks. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking disability medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach is purchasing a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's Ferries division requires occupational medical surveillance across 14 locations statewide (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited Pharmacy Benefit Management services covering approximately 7,200 members (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across thirteen clinical categories (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations involve the orthopedic ankle spacer insertion procedure the code nominally describes.
