This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left 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 0QCM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85705139 Extirpation of matter from left tarsal, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal medical-procedure scope does not match the recent state and local activity posted under it. The six recent opportunities solicited under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve tarsal procedures or surgical extraction. The code shows a mismatch between its procedural name and the actual work state and local governments are buying under it.

The recent opportunities come from Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida jurisdictions, including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (medical disability evaluations for pension boards, RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical Centers of Excellence for employee and retiree health plans, RFP due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, RFP due October 9, 2026), and Collier County in Florida (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026). Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across audiology, imaging, cardiology, and other specialties (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's medical-procedural title and the occupational health, benefits administration, and health staffing services actually being solicited, this code warrants review for taxonomy alignment rather than pursuit based on its nominal scope.
