UNSPSC 85781950: Alteration of left ankle region with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left ankle region with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 0Y0L37Z

UNSPSC 85781950 Alteration of left ankle region with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure benefit management, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which relate to orthopedic surgical procedures on the ankle. The code appears to be a procedural medical classification that has been incorrectly applied to administrative and operational health services contracts. State and local governments are using this code to tag health system and benefits administration work rather than clinical orthopedic interventions.

The issuing bodies include Arizona pension boards (City of Phoenix), California municipalities (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington state transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas county detention systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida county human resources and health consortium functions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Recent activity spans the South, Southwest, West Coast, and Florida, with no clear geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing services due October 7, 2026. The code's application to these opportunities suggests a systematic tagging mismatch; pursuing opportunities under this code will require filtering out the code itself and relying on direct solicitation discovery or alternative keyword and agency-based monitoring.
