This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of spacer in right 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 0SWH38Z

UNSPSC 85721859 Revision of spacer in right tarsal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on the foot, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code classify medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve tarsal joint revision or foot surgery. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the work being solicited suggests either a systematic tagging error in the underlying procurement system or a fundamental misalignment between how UNSPSC classifies this procedure code and how state and local buyers actually use it for healthcare contracting.

The issuing bodies tagging opportunities under this code span city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county procurement offices (Collier County), and a pre-bid conference for occupational surveillance with the Washington State Ferries held on August 31, 2026. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity concentrated in RFPs and RFQs due between October 7 and October 20, 2026. Given the absence of foot-surgery-related solicitations and the prevalence of unrelated healthcare administrative and staffing services, this code does not appear to be a productive category for vendors pursuing state and local medical device, surgical supply, or procedure-based opportunities.
