UNSPSC 85705312 Removal of synthetic substitute from left tarsal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurements tagged under it. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the medical services state and local governments are actively soliciting. Recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, temporary health professional staffing, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. These issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and boards (Santa Clara Health System, Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), with no coherent connection to the tarsal procedure named in the code itself. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or that this code is serving as a catch-all for medical services outside the clinical taxonomy's intended structure.

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative examples include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, response due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional five-year extension), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a temporary health professional staffing qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, response due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed volume). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition and does not support straightforward business development targeting.
