UNSPSC 85705029: Supplement left tarsal with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left tarsal with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0QUM07Z

UNSPSC 85705029 Supplement left tarsal with autologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code concern occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, surgical benefit management programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve tarsal implantation or orthopedic surgical supply procurement. The mismatch suggests a data-tagging error rather than genuine procurement demand under the code's stated scope.

The six recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). No pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration emerges. Because the code shows no recent demand for the orthopedic surgical procedure it nominally describes, pursuit under this UNSPSC is not recommended; vendors should verify code assignment with the issuing body before responding.
