UNSPSC 85705059: Replacement of right tarsal with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right 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 0QRL0JZ

UNSPSC 85705059 Replacement of right tarsal with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that has no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are unrelated to orthopedic implant procurement or surgical procedure delivery. The code's nominal description (a specific surgical procedure involving tarsal bone replacement) does not align with the medical administration, staffing, and benefits management services these jurisdictions are actually soliciting.

State and local procurement offices appear to have misclassified these opportunities at the commodity level. The issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—represent a mix of municipal, county, state, and regional health-system buyers, but their actual purchasing activity falls outside the scope of tarsal implant or surgical procedures. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local orthopedic device or surgical services procurement and monitor higher-tier Family and Class codes in the healthcare services and medical equipment segments for relevant opportunities.
