UNSPSC 85705444: Reposition right tarsal with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right tarsal with internal 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 0QSL44Z

UNSPSC 85705444 (Reposition right tarsal with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach) is a Commodity-level code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with the code's nominal clinical procedure scope. The six solicitations posted between July and September 2026 include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these opportunities directly procures the orthopedic surgical procedure the code describes; instead, they represent procurement of administrative health services, benefits management, staffing solutions, and medical evaluation coordination. The issuing bodies span county pension boards (Phoenix), municipal governments (Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Santa Clara), county departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County), and regional health systems. This geographic and functional diversity, combined with the mismatch between the code's procedure-specific designation and the operational services actually being solicited, suggests the code carries little relevant activity for vendors specializing in orthopedic surgical implants or procedures.

Representative recent opportunities demonstrate the extent of this misclassification. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RTMRFP26001) sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications with an October 16, 2026 RFP due date and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP20260825) issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with an October 9, 2026 deadline and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052) established a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with an October 7, 2026 deadline. These solicitations and others in the block address health services delivery, benefits administration, and workforce management—functional domains that do not overlap with surgical device procurement or implant supply. Firms pursuing state and local opportunities in orthopedic surgical implants or tarsal repair devices should monitor higher-tier UNSPSC codes related to medical devices or surgical supplies rather than this procedure-specific Commodity code, which does not reflect current procurement demand.
