UNSPSC 85721884: Supplement left tarsal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left tarsal joint with synthetic substitute, 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 0SUJ3JZ

UNSPSC 85721884, Supplement left tarsal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that sits at the intersection of medical procedure coding and state and local healthcare procurement. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reveal a significant mismatch: the code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the solicitations actually posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to the procedure itself. State and local governments do buy orthopedic and surgical services through healthcare plans, employee benefit programs, and occupational health contracts, but the opportunities present do not reflect procurement of this specific tarsal joint procedure or its components.

The issuing bodies include Arizona city pension boards (City of Phoenix), California municipalities (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Collier County, Harris County), and regional transit authorities. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The code's current activity suggests that tarsal joint procedures and orthopedic surgical supplies are either classified elsewhere in the UNSPSC taxonomy or are being procured through broader healthcare benefit and staffing contracts that do not surface the specific procedure code at point of solicitation.
