This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left tarsal with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0QUM3KZ

UNSPSC 85705227 Supplement left tarsal with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of that service. Instead, the code is being used by jurisdictions to solicit independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical center-of-excellence networks—none of which align with the tarsal implant procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code is being applied broadly to capture health services procurement beyond its narrow procedural definition. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipalities (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and county health consortiums, indicating that health services procurement under this code spans retirement benefit administration, employee health benefits, occupational health compliance, and temporary staffing across multiple jurisdictions and service lines.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a five-year contract maximum of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a two-year term with options to extend up to five additional one-year terms. The City of Long Beach solicited proposals (HR26753) for a surgical benefit carve-out program through centers of excellence for approximately 3,800 employees and retirees, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with a historical annual pharmacy spend of approximately $8.7 million and a three-year initial term. Santa Clara County Health System established a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026) with no guaranteed work volume. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, with responses due September 25, 2026.
