UNSPSC 85705400: Short bones foot, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the short bones of the foot with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0Q.

UNSPSC 85705400 Short bones foot, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A, a Class code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical medical device or procedure designation does not match the healthcare service contracting, pharmacy benefit management, and medical staffing work that currently appears tagged under it in state and local opportunities.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span diverse healthcare service lines rather than orthopedic devices or procedures: Muscogee County Prison (Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia) is procuring comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services including intake screening, chronic care management, emergency services, and formulary oversight through RFP No. 26-0008, due May 15, 2026; Collier County (Florida) issued RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services managing pharmacy claims, specialty drug administration, and network management for approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with proposals due April 9, 2026; Monroe County (Florida) solicited Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for 2,300 county members through RFP 628, due April 16, 2026; San Mateo County (California) posted RFP 2025-007 for Mental Health Services Act peer support services with $580,000 in funding; and Santa Monica (California) sought a Fire Department Medical Director through RFP 455. Issuing bodies include county human resources and purchasing divisions, prison administrations, and municipal fire departments. Activity concentrates in Florida and California, with recent postings also in Georgia and mentions of dispersed responses. The code designation appears misapplied to these healthcare service contracts and does not reflect consistent procurement of the orthopedic implants, instruments, or procedural services the UNSPSC title suggests.
