UNSPSC 85705045 Reposition left tarsal with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to address a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows no alignment with this code's nominal scope. The six most-recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, and perioperative care centers of excellence — none of which involve tarsal repositioning or orthopedic surgical fixation devices. The code mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and the work actually being solicited under this identifier.

State and local buyers tagging opportunities under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-out programs, due October 7, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services, due April 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI 071626BNM for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026). Geographic activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, and Texas. Given the systematic absence of tarsal fixation or orthopedic surgical device procurement, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms offering products or services aligned with its stated commodity scope.
