This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device 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 0QWL04Z

UNSPSC 85705020 Revision of internal fixation device in right tarsal, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show minimal alignment with the code's nominal clinical scope. The opportunities instead reflect health benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve orthopedic device revision or tarsal procedures. State and local buyers including the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System have tagged solicitations to this code that do not match its stated procedure classification, suggesting either systematic miscoding or use of the code as a placeholder for broader health services and benefits management categories that state procurement systems lack more precise taxonomy for.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas based on recent postings, with no clear concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code as currently tagged shows minimal recent procurement of the actual procedure it names; buyers and vendors should verify code accuracy before committing pursuit resources to opportunities under this classification.
