UNSPSC 85724239: Fusion of right 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 right 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 0SGF4JZ

UNSPSC 85724239 Fusion of right ankle joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this classification in recent state and local procurement. The code nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the opportunities posted against it. Recent solicitations tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit management for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these services involve ankle fusion procedures or align with the code's procedural description.

The recent opportunities show activity from diverse issuing bodies—city retirement offices, municipal health benefit administrations, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice and human resources divisions, and regional health systems—distributed across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. However, because the code title and the posted solicitations are substantively misaligned, this code shows little relevant recent procurement activity for the work it nominally describes. Vendors pursuing state and local work in orthopedic surgery, medical device implants, or related surgical procedure codes should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their service lines rather than relying on this categorization.
