UNSPSC 85724233: Fusion of left ankle joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left ankle joint with synthetic substitute, 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 0SGG4JZ

UNSPSC 85724233 "Fusion of left ankle joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code assigned to a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the code shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with that clinical scope. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code are unrelated to ankle fusion surgery and instead span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in the source jurisdictions or that this code has been applied as a catch-all for health services contracting when no more precise code exists in state and local procurement systems.

The issuing bodies represent a geographically dispersed set of state and local health authorities and benefits administrators: the City of Phoenix (Arizona) Retirement Office, City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of Commissioners (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara County's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). No clear pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration emerges from the limited set. Given the absence of ankle fusion or surgical-procedure procurement activity and the wide scatter of unrelated health services work, this code does not represent a coherent procurement segment and warrants clarification with issuing bodies before pursuit.
