UNSPSC 85704911: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left tarsal, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left tarsal, external 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 0QWMXKZ

UNSPSC 85704911 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left tarsal, external approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with the code's stated scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve tissue substitutes or tarsal revision procedures. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the opportunities or a fundamental disconnect between the code's nominal definition and how state and local jurisdictions are using it in practice.

Recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states and service lines. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services related to disability pension determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for a surgical carve-out benefit program with proposals due October 7, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services; the County of Santa Clara Health System in California posted an RFQ for temporary health professional staffing; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services. Given the lack of actual tissue-substitute or tarsal-procedure activity in the recent opportunities block, this code appears dormant or misapplied for state and local procurement purposes.
