UNSPSC 85704928: Repair right 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 0QQLXZZ

UNSPSC 85704928 Repair right tarsal, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention emergency services—none of which map to tarsal repair or surgical repair work. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or use of this code as a placeholder for broader medical and health services categories by issuing authorities.

State and local activity under this code derives from health systems, counties, and municipal retirement offices rather than orthopedic surgery centers or medical device suppliers. The Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent disability medical evaluations for public safety pension boards), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing) represent the types of issuing bodies posting opportunities. Activity appears concentrated in Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with isolated postings from Texas and other states. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The code shows no clear geographic or issuing-body concentration that would suggest a coherent procurement segment, and vendors should verify coding accuracy before pursuing opportunities tagged under this Commodity code.
