UNSPSC 85781727: Insertion of radioactive element into left ankle region, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into left ankle region, 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 0YHL01Z

UNSPSC 85781727 (Insertion of radioactive element into left ankle region, open approach) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure—radioisotope implantation in the ankle joint—yet none of the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve that service. Instead, the opportunities posted under 85781727 span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, surgical care networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. These solicitations address general health plan administration, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing—none of which align with the code's stated scope. The disconnect suggests the code may be incorrectly applied by issuing bodies or serves as a catch-all for clinical services that do not fit elsewhere in the taxonomy.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation/Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic distribution spans the Southwest, Pacific Northwest, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) seeking physician-led exams across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services including disability record summarization and psychiatric examinations for approximately 75 annual applications (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's mismatch with actual procurement scope, this code presents limited opportunity signal for vendors focused on specific clinical services or implantable devices.
