UNSPSC 85705556: Destruction of right tarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0Q5L4ZZ

UNSPSC 85705556 Destruction of right tarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve destruction of the right tarsal bone. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the underlying procurement systems or an overuse of the code across unrelated medical and health-service categories.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed: the City of Phoenix, Arizona; the City of Long Beach, California; the Washington State Department of Transportation; Harris County, Texas; Collier County, Florida; and the County of Santa Clara, California have posted solicitations. Issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, city human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, county probation departments, and county procurement divisions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical center-of-excellence benefits for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's nominal scope and the nature of these solicitations, firms should verify code alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under this Commodity code.
