UNSPSC 85705240: Reposition left tarsal with external fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left tarsal with external fixation device, 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 0QSM35Z

UNSPSC 85705240 Reposition left tarsal with external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows significant mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. Recent opportunities under this code involve medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county boards of commissioners. None of these solicitations involve the tarsal repositioning procedure named in the code; instead, they reflect broader healthcare administration, medical staffing, and employee benefits management.

Recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity includes Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The code appears to carry miscoded opportunities rather than reflecting genuine procurement of the specific orthopedic procedure its UNSPSC designation names. Firms pursuing work under this code should verify that opportunities are actually aligned with their service offerings, as the tagging signal carries limited reliability for targeting.
