UNSPSC 85705143 Excision of left tarsal, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with the code's abstract medical scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, including medical record summarization and scheduling of independent medical and psychiatric examinations for approximately 75 annual disability applications. The City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program offering pre- and post-care for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, is seeking occupational medical surveillance services including baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for four personnel categories across 14 Washington locations. These solicitations span benefit program management, occupational health administration, and multi-specialty medical logistics — none of which describe surgical excision of tarsal structures.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office, a city health benefits administrator, a state transportation department, a county juvenile probation department (issuing an RFI for emergency and inpatient hospital-based services for detained youth), and a county health system (establishing a qualified vendor pool for ancillary health professional staffing including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, and surgical services). Recent activity is concentrated in Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), and Washington (state-level), with Harris County, Texas also active. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated surgical procedure scope; the opportunities tagged under it describe health benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare, and ancillary staffing services rather than surgical procedures performed on state or local government employees or patients.
