UNSPSC 85705532: Insertion of internal fixation device into right tarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into right 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 0QHL44Z

UNSPSC 85705532 Insertion of internal fixation device into right tarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure code from clinical taxonomy—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged to it. The five most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation), independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing pools (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations involve insertion of internal fixation devices or tarsal procedures; they span occupational health, disability evaluation, benefit administration, and clinical staffing services—work that falls outside the code's intended scope.

The mismatch between the code's clinical nomenclature and the actual purchasing activity suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a fundamental disconnect between how this particular Commodity code is deployed and what it nominally describes. Issuers range from state transportation departments and county health systems to municipal retirement offices and juvenile justice departments. Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida. Given the absence of any recent solicitation that actually seeks insertion of internal fixation devices or related orthopedic implants or surgical services matching the code's descriptor, firms evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local procurement purposes unless the tagging issue is corrected upstream.
