This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in left tarsal joint, open 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 0SWJ0JZ

UNSPSC 85721350 Revision of synthetic substitute in left tarsal joint, open approach is a Commodity code. However, the code shows no alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under or tagged with this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve orthopedic surgery, joint replacement, or tarsal procedures. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to these opportunities in the source records, or the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment does not reflect the actual procurement scope. State and local buyers do procure health services and medical staffing broadly, but the specific orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code's title does not appear in the recent solicitation records.

The activity that has posted includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services (due September 25, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, though posted August 20), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). These are spread across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but they are not purchasing tarsal joint revision procedures—they are purchasing administrative and staffing services ancillary to health care delivery. The code appears inactive for its nominal procurement scope.
