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 0QBL3ZZ

UNSPSC 85705340 Excision of right tarsal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears to capture specific surgical procedures, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical services. Instead, the solicitations reflect comprehensive healthcare administration and delivery services — inmate medical and pharmacy services management, pharmacy benefit management for employee populations, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific orthopedic or podiatric surgical procedure) and the work actually being bought suggests this code shows little relevant recent activity in its stated domain. State and local procurement offices are using it to tag healthcare contracting opportunities that do not align with the code's procedural definition.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; and San Mateo County, California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica Fire Department, California), spanning administration of healthcare for jail populations, employee health benefits, public employee medical services, behavioral health innovation pilots, and emergency medical services oversight. The geographic spread covers Georgia, Florida, and California. Recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 (posted April 9, 2026) for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million; Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services (posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026) for approximately 2,300 county members; and San Mateo County's RFP No. 2025-007 for Peer Support for Peer Workers, a Mental Health Services Act Innovation pilot project with $580,000 in total funding. Given the disconnect between the code's surgical procedure name and the healthcare administration and service delivery work being procured, this code does not appear to be a reliable vehicle for pursuing state and local health services contracting opportunities.
