This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right 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 0SRH0KZ

UNSPSC 85721454, Replacement of right tarsal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure rather than a class of goods or services that state and local governments actually procure. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with orthopedic joint replacement surgery; instead, they document solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch indicates that this code receives little relevant recent activity in the state and local procurement market. State and local issuing bodies—county retirement boards, county health systems, county commissions, city transit authorities, and city retirement offices—do not typically procure individual surgical procedures or surgical implants through the UNSPSC taxonomy; orthopedic procedures and devices fall under different procurement channels, including group purchasing organizations, health insurance carve-outs managed by third-party administrators, or direct hospital procurement rather than competitive solicitations issued to external vendors at the state and local level.

The source records no recent opportunities for joint replacement surgery or related orthopedic implants. Geographic spread cannot be characterized, and no representative opportunities exist to evaluate. Firms pursuing state and local health procurement should verify code assignment before investing business development effort here, as this Commodity code does not appear to reflect actual state and local buying activity.
