UNSPSC 85721708 Extirpation of matter from right tarsal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that exhibits a material mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the actual state and local contracting activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic or podiatric surgical procedures on the tarsal joint; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary clinical staffing placement, surgical care network curation, and youth detention healthcare services. None of these are surgical extirpation procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition.

Activity under the code originates across state departments, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Secondary opportunities include Long Beach's surgical care network solicitation, Harris County Juvenile Probation's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP. Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with no dominant state concentration visible in the sample.
