UNSPSC 85721383: Supplement left tarsal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left tarsal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0SUJ0KZ

UNSPSC 85721383 Supplement left tarsal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve tarsal joint supplementation or surgical implant procurement. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or use of the code as a catch-all for healthcare services unrelated to the orthopedic procedure the code name specifies. State and local buyers posting under this code include county health systems, county commissioners' offices, retirement boards, state departments of transportation, county probation departments, and municipal retirement offices. The issuing bodies span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (proposals due October 9, 2026), and the Santa Clara County Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties (proposals due October 7, 2026). The Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. Given the absence of orthopedic surgical implant procurement in the recent-opportunities block and the preponderance of general healthcare administration, occupational medicine, and staffing services, this code does not appear to be an active vehicle for businesses pursuing medical device or implant supply contracts with state and local agencies.
