This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right tarsal joint with internal 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 0SSH34Z

UNSPSC 85721924 Reposition right tarsal joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope addresses orthopedic surgical procedures, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span comprehensive healthcare management services, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support programming, and medical direction — none of which align with tarsal joint repositioning or surgical fixation. The mismatch between the code's title and the work actually being bought suggests either a data-tagging error in the source opportunities or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC classification and the issuing bodies' procurement intent.

The identifiable recent activity under this code includes an RFP from Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison) for inmate medical and pharmacy services with proposals due May 15, 2026; an RFP from Collier County Board of County Commissioners for pharmacy benefit management services (historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually); a request from Monroe County, Florida for virtual primary and urgent care services with a due date of April 16, 2026; a San Mateo County request for peer support services for peer workers funded at $580,000 over three years; and an RFP from Santa Monica Fire Department for a medical director with proposals due October 16, 2025. The issuing bodies span county government purchasing divisions, county health and behavioral health departments, and city fire departments across Florida, California, and Georgia. Given the disconnect between the code's surgical nomenclature and the healthcare administration and service delivery work actually posted under it, this code shows no relevant recent procurement activity for vendors pursuing orthopedic surgical devices or services.
