This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into right tarsal, 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 0QHL04Z

UNSPSC 85705136 Insertion of internal fixation device into right tarsal, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with no meaningful alignment to actual buying activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this surgical-procedure code span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency services for detained youth, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans — none of which involve tarsal fixation devices or orthopedic implant procurement. The code's nominal clinical descriptor does not match the administrative and clinical-service work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration in any single state or region. A representative recent opportunity is the Washington State Department of Transportation's August 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), which required baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations performed by occupational-medicine-board-certified physicians. This code shows little relevant recent activity for firms supplying orthopedic devices or related surgical materials to state and local buyers; the tagging appears to reflect data-classification inconsistency rather than genuine procurement demand under this commodity's stated scope.
