UNSPSC 85721635: Insertion of internal fixation device into left tarsal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into 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 0SHJ04Z

UNSPSC 85721635 Insertion of internal fixation device into left tarsal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent record. The source contains five recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code, but none involve orthopedic surgical procedures, medical device insertion, or tarsal joint treatment. Instead, the opportunities solicited healthcare services including inmate medical and pharmacy management, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and medical direction for a fire department EMS program. The mismatch between the code's nominal clinical scope and the services actually being procured suggests either a data-classification error in the source or that this code is being used as a catch-all taxonomy marker for health services contracting that does not reflect the specificity the code name implies.

The issuing bodies span county health systems, county procurement offices, and municipal fire departments across Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), and California (San Mateo County, Santa Monica). The recent opportunities posted between February and April 2026 include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management serving approximately 2,400 employees (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's MHSA Innovation pilot for peer support services (due July 2, 2025, now expired), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director (due October 16, 2025, now expired). None of these procurements involve the surgical procedures or medical devices the code nominally describes, indicating this code sees no meaningful recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition.
