This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left tarsal, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0QWM44Z

UNSPSC 85705415, Revision of internal fixation device in left tarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes orthopedic surgical devices or procedures, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code solicits medical services and benefit administration rather than devices or surgical procedures. The Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, the City of Long Beach requests surgical benefit carve-out program management, the Washington State Department of Transportation solicits occupational medical surveillance services, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department seeks emergency and specialty healthcare delivery for detained youth, Collier County seeks pharmacy benefit management administration, and Santa Clara Health System seeks temporary health professional staffing. None of these represent procurement of internal fixation devices or related orthopedic hardware. The issuing-body mix spans city retirement offices, municipal employee benefits departments, state transportation agencies, county corrections systems, county health departments, and county health system entities. State and local governments are not purchasing the product this code nominally describes.

Geographic spread across recent opportunities includes California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Washington (statewide via Department of Transportation), Arizona (Phoenix), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 seeks proposals for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825 requests occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026. Because the recent opportunities do not reflect the code's stated scope, this code presents no relevant procurement signal for vendors supplying orthopedic devices or related surgical hardware to state and local governments.
