This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left tarsal with external fixation device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85705044 Reposition left tarsal with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal name describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that clinical specification. Instead, the six identified solicitations reflect procurement of medical services management, health plan administration, and occupational health surveillance — functions that fall outside the scope of a specific surgical technique. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach is procuring a surgical procedure carve-out and Center of Excellence network for employee health benefits; the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services across multiple ferry facilities; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is requesting pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, cities, and regional health systems, with no single repeat buyer across these opportunities.

Geographic activity includes Washington State, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no dominant concentration in any single state. The most concrete recent opportunity is the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001, due October 16, 2026, which seeks medical record summarization and independent medical examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications at a total maximum compensation of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825, also due October 9, 2026, is soliciting occupational medical surveillance with examinations across 14 Washington ferry locations, cost-based evaluation weighting 40 percent to pricing and 60 percent to non-cost capability factors, and contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026. The code as currently assigned does not represent genuine procurement activity in orthopedic surgery or tarsal fixation; the mismatch between the code's clinical name and the actual scope of recent opportunities suggests either tagging inconsistency by issuing bodies or misalignment between the code's intent and current state and local usage.
