UNSPSC 85705443: Reposition right tarsal with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right tarsal with external fixation device, 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 0QSL45Z

UNSPSC 85705443, Reposition right tarsal with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal description refers to a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these procurements involve tarsal repositioning or external fixation devices. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or use of this code as a catch-all for medical and health services outside its intended scope.

The opportunities that do appear across the tagged records span state departments, county governments, and municipal entities soliciting health administration and occupational medicine services. The Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations with a pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026; and Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management with a submission deadline that has already passed (April 9, 2026). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's procedural-surgery definition and the health-administration work actually appearing in recent solicitations, this code warrants review for reclassification or separate monitoring under a health services or occupational medicine family code rather than orthopedic surgery.
