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 0QRM4KZ

UNSPSC 85705451 (Replacement of left tarsal with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach) is a Commodity code with limited relevance to current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect the surgical procedure specified in the code's nominal scope. Instead, the indexed solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which constitute orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue replacement work. The mismatch suggests this code may be misapplied to general medical procurement or that the indexing system conflates clinical service contracting with specific procedural codes intended for healthcare billing or clinical reference rather than procurement taxonomy.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health plan administrators (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), and county human resources divisions. Geographic activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration. The recent opportunities show no direct relevance to tarsal replacement procedures; a business development professional evaluating pursuit under this code should verify whether the actual scope of work needed matches the procedural code designation or whether reclassification to a higher-tier code reflecting medical services procurement would better capture the customer need.
