This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left metatarsal-tarsal joint with external fixation device, 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 0SSL35Z

UNSPSC 85721914 Reposition left metatarsal-tarsal joint with external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local government procurement opportunities posted under it. The recent opportunities solicited under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or external fixation devices. The mismatch suggests the code has been incorrectly applied to these opportunities, or the tagging reflects a data classification error rather than actual procurement activity in orthopedic surgery or musculoskeletal fixation services.

Recent activity appears concentrated among larger municipal and county health systems and state transportation agencies. Issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for PSPRS disability determinations due October 16, 2026 with RFP 26001), the City of Long Beach (surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026 with RFP HR26753), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers due October 9, 2026 with RFP 20260825), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth with RFI 071626BNM due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028 with RFP 25-8414), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026 with RFSQHHSFY270052). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code does not support meaningful business development activity in its stated scope.
