UNSPSC 85704912 Revision of synthetic substitute in left tarsal, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedure specification, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the code's stated scope of tarsal joint reconstruction. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure taxonomy and the actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code is not in current use for state and local health and human services procurement.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged with this code include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a city benefits department (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county government (Collier County), and a regional health system (Santa Clara County). Geographic coverage spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the absence of alignment between the code's name and the work actually being solicited, firms should verify the correct UNSPSC family or class code for health services contracting rather than pursue opportunities under this Commodity designation.
