This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of 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 0SRJ0KZ

UNSPSC 85721451 Replacement of left tarsal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal taxonomy entry does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently posted under it. The recent opportunities in the source are disability benefit medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, Centers of Excellence surgical coordination, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve tarsal joint replacement or orthopedic implant procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes; the mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure name and the health services actually being solicited suggests either a data-entry error in the state or local issuing system or an overbroad assignment of opportunities to this code.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), large counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board disability benefit applications, proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 total over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations (proposals due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's surgical benefits carve-out RFP for Centers of Excellence networks managing orthopedic, spine, cardiac, and oncology procedures for approximately 3,800 employees and retirees (proposals due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vendor pool for temporary clinical staffing across 13 ancillary categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). Bidders should verify the UNSPSC code assignment in each solicitation before pursuing, as the code's scope and actual work being bought diverge substantially.
