UNSPSC 85705017: Revision of synthetic substitute in right tarsal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in right tarsal, open 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 0QWL0JZ

UNSPSC 85705017 Revision of synthetic substitute in right tarsal, open approach (Commodity) does not align with actual state and local procurement activity under this code. The six recent opportunities posted under this code classify medical services and staffing, not orthopedic implant revision procedures or surgical interventions on the foot. The mismatch reflects a classification error in the state and local procurement system rather than genuine demand for tarsal prosthetic revision in the public sector.

The recent solicitations reveal that state and local buyers are using this code to tag occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical care in correctional settings, surgical Center of Excellence networks, and temporary clinical staffing. The issuing bodies span county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), state departments of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health departments (City of Long Beach), and county commissioners offices (Collier County). Activity appears concentrated in California, Washington, Arizona, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the Santa Clara County Health System's solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Until the coding error is corrected upstream, this code will not reliably signal orthopedic implant or tarsal-specific opportunities in state and local procurement.
