UNSPSC 85724237: Fusion of right ankle joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of 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 0SGF4ZZ

UNSPSC 85724237, Fusion of right ankle joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. Recent procurement activity shows no surgical procedure codes or clinical services directly aligned with orthopedic fusion. Instead, the code has been applied to administrative healthcare procurement that spans medical evaluation coordination, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary staffing for clinical support roles, and specialty medical networks — none of which involve ankle fusion procedures or any surgical intervention.

Recent opportunities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington indicate that state and local buyers are using this code to tag broader healthcare administration and staffing services. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board) posted RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026, requesting independent medical evaluation services and disability record review for approximately 75 annual applications, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a contract value of $750,000 over five years beginning February 3, 2027. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026, for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories on July 7, 2026, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Additional opportunities include Collier County's Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP 25-8414 (posted August 20, 2026) and the City of Long Beach's carve-out benefit program for surgical procedures through Centers of Excellence (posted August 26, 2026). The code's use appears to reflect miscoding rather than actual procurement of ankle fusion surgery, and the activity shown does not represent purchasing patterns typical of a clinical procedure code.
