UNSPSC 85724240: Fusion of right ankle joint with autologous tissue 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 autologous tissue 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 0SGF47Z

UNSPSC 85724240 Fusion of right ankle joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the medical and administrative services state and local governments are actually procuring under this classification. Recent opportunities show no alignment between the code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the work being solicited, which centers on occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out coordination, and temporary clinical staffing. The code appears to have been misapplied to health administration and employee health management procurements rather than orthopedic surgical services. State and local issuing bodies including county retirement offices, municipal employee health programs, state transportation departments, and county health systems are posting opportunities under this code, but none involve the joint fusion procedure the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington and include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach seeking a surgical benefit carve-out program for Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance for ferry employees across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Collier County requesting Pharmacy Benefit Management Services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement professionals pursuing actual orthopedic surgical procedures or implant-related work; business development focus should prioritize the health administration and occupational health management categories where activity is concentrated rather than expect opportunities aligned with the code's orthopedic surgical procedure title.
