UNSPSC 85705511: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left tarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from 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 0QPM4KZ

UNSPSC 85705511 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left tarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are currently procuring under this tag. The recent opportunities in the source material show no correlation to the code's clinical-procedure name; instead, state and local solicitations tagged with this code span occupational health surveillance, medical record summarization for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these services involve tissue-substitute removal or tarsal procedures. The UNSPSC code appears to be a mislabeling or system error rather than an accurate descriptor of the procurement activity.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a city health department (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The most substantive recent opportunity is the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations, requiring board certification in occupational medicine. Other representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary preparation and independent medical evaluations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years) and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services (due October 7, 2026). Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation content, this code warrants verification before committing procurement resources.
