UNSPSC 85705056: Replacement of left tarsal with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left tarsal with synthetic 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 0QRM0JZ

UNSPSC 85705056 Replacement of left tarsal with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on the foot—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged to it, which instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services. These solicitations are administrative healthcare management, benefits program procurement, and staffing services, not procurement of the orthopedic implant or surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source material or that the taxonomy does not reflect how state and local buyers actually tag healthcare-related work.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span three states and diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Most solicitations are RFPs with October 2026 response deadlines; the Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP (RFP 25-8414) carries an anomalous April 9, 2026 due date and historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million. Representative work includes the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations ($750,000 maximum over five years, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's qualified-vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's mismatch with actual procurement activity, this is not a productive avenue for firms seeking orthopedic implant or surgical-procedure work under state and local auspices.
