UNSPSC 85705220: Revision of internal fixation device in right tarsal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in right tarsal, percutaneous 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 0QWL34Z

UNSPSC 85705220 Revision of internal fixation device in right tarsal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical procedure scope and the state and local contract opportunities presently tagged under it. The recent opportunities solicited under this code—independent medical evaluations for public safety disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not reflect the specific orthopedic surgical procedure the code's name describes. State and local bodies tagging work to this code are primarily county and municipal government entities managing employee health benefits, detention healthcare, and occupational safety compliance, rather than medical device procurement or surgical procedure vendors.

The recent activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including 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 Santa Clara County Health System. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services via RFP (RFP20260825) with a response date of October 9, 2026, requiring physician-led occupational exams across 14 ferry system locations. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services via RFP (RTMRFP26001) with responses due October 16, 2026, covering disability medical record review and examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications. The mismatch between the code's orthopedic device focus and the broad health services and benefits management work actually being purchased suggests the code does not meaningfully describe current state and local procurement activity in this category.
