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 0SPH38Z

UNSPSC 85722059 Removal of spacer from right tarsal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the recent state and local opportunities placed under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations—independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary health professional staffing—involve administrative healthcare services, benefit program administration, and clinical staffing rather than the discrete surgical intervention the code name specifies. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state departments of transportation, county probation departments, and county purchasing offices spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The recent opportunities show activity in medical evaluation coordination, healthcare benefit carve-outs, occupational medicine surveillance, detention facility healthcare services, and temporary clinical staffing across health system and municipal government buyers, but none address tarsal joint or other surgical procedures directly.

The source supports no recent opportunities that match the code's stated scope of work. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) solicits independent medical evaluation services and medical record summarization for disability retirement determinations; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) seeks surgical carve-out benefit administration for a Centers of Excellence network covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requests occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishes a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. This code exhibits a significant mismatch between its procedural name and the administrative and staffing-level healthcare services actually being procured by state and local jurisdictions.
