This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from left tarsal joint, open approach.

UNSPSC 85721555 Removal of infusion device from left tarsal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to be a medical procedure classification with limited relevance to current state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code involve medical evaluation and staffing services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures or implant removal. The code's placement within procurement databases does not reflect how state and local agencies actually classify and buy medical services; the opportunities posted under it address disability benefit determinations, employee health plan carve-outs, occupational medicine compliance, youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical labor rather than surgical intervention codes.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing medical evaluation and health services include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and county human resources divisions managing employee health programs (Collier County). Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's multiple-award vendor qualification solicitation for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 categories (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code shows significant taxonomy misalignment — state and local procurement systems appear to have applied an orthopedic surgical procedure code to administrative health services and workforce procurement, rendering this particular code a poor indicator of future opportunity volume or type in this space.
