UNSPSC 85721707 Extirpation of matter from left tarsal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical scope. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out programs, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the orthopedic surgical procedure the code name describes. The mismatch suggests this code has been applied inconsistently or as a default catch-all by posting jurisdictions rather than reflecting actual procurement intent around tarsal joint surgery.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human resources divisions (Santa Clara County, Harris County, Collier County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting a mix of state, county, and municipal healthcare and benefits administration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending (due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread spans California, Florida, Arizona, and Washington, with activity concentrated in county and municipal benefits administration and occupational health compliance rather than surgical services procurement.
