UNSPSC 85704923 Reposition left tarsal, external approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure. However, recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows minimal alignment with the surgical scope — the opportunities posted are primarily healthcare administration and delivery contracts (inmate medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction), none of which involve tarsal repositioning or external orthopedic approaches. The code appears to be a misapplication or data-entry error in the state and local procurement systems that have tagged these healthcare service solicitations.

State and local governments have posted five recent opportunities under this code across Georgia, Florida, and California, issued by a county consolidated government purchasing division (Muscogee County Prison), two county boards of commissioners (Collier County and Monroe County), a county behavioral health division (San Mateo County), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica). No repeat buyers or concentrated activity pattern emerges. The opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County BHRS's RFP for peer support services for peer workers (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a fire department medical director (due October 16, 2025). The divergence between the code's stated scope and the actual solicitations suggests that this code is not a reliable indicator of state and local procurement demand for the orthopedic service it nominally describes.
