UNSPSC 85721637 Insertion of spacer into right tarsal joint, open approach is a Commodity code with a nominal scope reflecting orthopedic surgical procedure coding, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little to no relevance to that specific procedure or medical device supply. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit management programs, temporary health professional staffing placement, pharmacy benefit management, and emergency medical services for detained youth — work that broadly involves healthcare delivery, administrative medical services, and benefits management rather than orthopedic device procurement or implantation.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara County), and county procurement offices on behalf of health benefits consortia (Collier County). Geographic activity is scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code appears to have been applied broadly to healthcare and benefits administration solicitations without direct correlation to tarsal joint implantation. State and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect the specific medical device or procedure the Commodity name describes.
