UNSPSC 85705253: Replacement of left tarsal with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left tarsal with autologous 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 0QRM37Z

UNSPSC 85705253 Replacement of left tarsal with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational health surveillance, disability medical record evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care-out programs for municipal employees, temporary ancillary health staffing, and emergency services for youth in custody — none of which involve tarsal joint replacement or autologous tissue grafting. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the procurement system or incidental code application that does not align with the code's clinical definition.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System, reflecting activity across municipal human resources, state transportation, county social services, and county health systems. Geographic activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering ferry system workers across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026). No substantive connection exists between these solicitations and the code's stated orthopedic surgical procedure focus, signaling that pursuit decisions should be based on recent opportunity substance rather than code alignment.
