UNSPSC 85721853: Revision of external fixation device in left tarsal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in left tarsal joint, percutaneous 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 0SWJ35Z

UNSPSC 85721853 Revision of external fixation device in left tarsal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgery benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing services—none of which involve orthopedic device revision, external fixation, or tarsal joint procedures. The code appears to label a specific surgical procedure rather than a procurable service or supply category that state and local governments systematically buy through competitive solicitation.

State and local procurement activity under this code is not evident in recent postings. The issuing bodies in the dataset (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System) are soliciting health plan administration, staffing, and medical service coordination—administrative and clinical-support functions—rather than implantable medical devices or surgical procedures themselves. No representative recent opportunities for external fixation devices or tarsal joint surgery exist in the source material to characterize geographic spread, vendor competition, or procurement timing.
