This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of right ankle region, 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 0Y0K3ZZ

UNSPSC 85781951 Alteration of right ankle region, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code used inconsistently by state and local issuers to classify medical and healthcare services procurement. Recent opportunities tagged under this code show little direct alignment with the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, specialty surgical center-of-excellence network management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county human resources and health departments (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and city employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being solicited suggests the code is either misapplied in state and local procurement systems or serves as a catch-all for health-related services that lack a more precise taxonomy fit.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative current opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with state-credentialed occupational medicine physicians (proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), Collier County's RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees (due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Activity is episodic and geographically dispersed rather than concentrated in any single jurisdiction or state.
