This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left tarsal with synthetic 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 0QRM3JZ

UNSPSC 85705252 Replacement of left tarsal with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect state and local procurement of occupational and disability medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare—none of which involve orthopedic implant procedures or tarsal joint replacement. The mismatch suggests that either the soliciting bodies have miscoded their opportunities or the code definition in the taxonomy does not reflect how state and local procurement systems actually tag administrative healthcare and benefits services.

The recent state and local opportunities under this code span a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), city employee benefit programs (Long Beach, California and Phoenix, Arizona), a state department of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county health system (Santa Clara County, California), and a county juvenile detention authority (Harris County, Texas). Two opportunities with defined response dates and scope are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (capped at $750,000 over five years), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a two-year initial term and optional five-year extensions. Given the code's apparent misalignment with the procurements it receives, prospective vendors should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to 85705252.
