UNSPSC 85705159: Destruction of left tarsal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0Q5M0ZZ

UNSPSC 85705159 Destruction of left tarsal, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations posted under this code do not reflect surgical or clinical interventions; instead, they span pharmacy benefit management, inmate medical services, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve destruction of tarsal bones or operative orthopedic work. The mismatch suggests the code may have been misapplied by the posting jurisdictions or that the taxonomy entry itself does not serve state and local healthcare contracting in any meaningful way. Issuing bodies across these records include county governments (Collier County, Monroe County, Santa Mateo County, and Santa Monica Fire Department, along with Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia), spanning administrative health services, insurance administration, and behavioral health, rather than orthopedic surgery or related clinical procedures.

The geographic spread spans Florida (Collier and Monroe Counties), California (San Mateo County), Georgia (Columbus), and Los Angeles County, with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. Recent opportunities posted under this code include Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services (due April 9, 2026); Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for Inmate Medical & Pharmacy Services for Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026); Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services (due April 16, 2026); and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a Fire Department Medical Director (due October 16, 2025). The code exhibits no recent relevant activity for orthopedic surgical services or tarsal procedures and should be verified before serious pursuit; the current posting pattern suggests systematic miscoding rather than genuine procurement demand under this Commodity code.
