UNSPSC 85781640: Supplement right ankle region with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right ankle region with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 0YUK0KZ

UNSPSC 85781640 Supplement right ankle region with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve orthopedic tissue supplementation procedures. The code shows a taxonomy mismatch; state and local procurement offices appear to be applying this clinical procedure code to broader healthcare administration and staffing services where it does not belong.

The issuing bodies include city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), municipal health authorities (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with representative opportunities including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs with an anticipated go-live of April 1, 2027; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a two-year base term and optional five-year extension. The code assignment to these opportunities appears to be a data-quality issue rather than a genuine procurement category signal.
