UNSPSC 85705035: Resection of left tarsal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left 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 0QTM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85705035 Resection of left tarsal, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification do not involve surgical services or tarsal resection at all. Instead, the solicitations capture comprehensive healthcare services — inmate medical and pharmacy management, pharmacy benefit administration for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and EMS medical direction — none of which constitute surgical intervention or align with the procedural scope the code purports to describe.

The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and actual buying activity suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly by issuing procurement offices. The recent opportunities span multiple jurisdictions and service types: Muscogee County, Georgia (inmate medical services via RFP due May 2026); Collier County, Florida (pharmacy benefit management for county employees and health consortium members, RFP due April 2026); Monroe County, Florida (virtual primary and urgent care services, RFP due April 2026); San Mateo County, California (peer support services for behavioral health workers, RFP due July 2025); and Santa Monica, California (EMS medical director services, RFP due October 2025). No clear pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated geographic activity emerges from these records. The code does not reflect substantive state and local procurement activity in its intended domain.
