This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right tarsal, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85705336, Extirpation of matter from right tarsal, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on the tarsal bones of the foot; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and specialty emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve tarsal surgery or the orthopedic procedural work the code name suggests. The mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding in the state and local opportunity database or that the code has been repurposed to capture a broader portfolio of health services procurement.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state health agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipal retirement and employee-benefits offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). The geographic spread spans the Pacific Northwest (Washington), Southwest (Arizona), South (Texas, Florida), and West Coast (California). Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across fourteen Washington ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's procurement of independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with a five-year, $750,000 maximum contract and proposals due October 16, 2026 (RFP); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026 (non-exclusive vehicle with no guaranteed volume). The code shows no relevant recent activity for tarsal surgery or related orthopedic procedural services.
