UNSPSC 85705048 Reposition right tarsal with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical orthopedic procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities show no alignment with this specific clinical intervention. Instead, the code appears misapplied to the actual work state and local governments are soliciting, which centers on occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit programs — none of which involve tarsal bone repositioning or internal fixation. The issuing bodies span diverse public sectors: city retirement offices, city human resources departments, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile justice departments. These jurisdictions are procuring medical services infrastructure and administration rather than direct surgical procedures.

The recent opportunities cluster in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services, including medical record summarization and scheduling of disability examinations, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, with a two-year term and option to extend through year seven, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The City of Long Beach posted RFP HR26753 for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026, with contract selection targeted for January–March 2027 and go-live April 1, 2027. Collier County Procurement Services posted RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope of orthopedic surgery.
