UNSPSC 85705355: Destruction of left tarsal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left tarsal, 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 0Q5M3ZZ

UNSPSC 85705355 Destruction of left tarsal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for state and local government procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code are medical evaluation and staffing services, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional placement—none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a specific orthopedic surgical procedure. The mismatch between the code label and the actual solicitation activity suggests this code has been applied inconsistently or erroneously to health services procurement that does not involve the procedure named.

Activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, and Washington, with one inquiry from Harris County, Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services across ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid on August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach sought surgical carve-out benefits management for Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026); Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026); and Collier County, Florida issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical pharmacy spending near $8.7 million annually. These represent public health administration, occupational health compliance, employee benefits contracting, temporary clinical staffing, and pharmacy operations—none matching tarsal destruction procedures. Without evidence that this code is used correctly for orthopedic surgical services in state and local procurement, pursuits under it should verify actual scope alignment before committing resources.
