UNSPSC 85722061: Removal of external fixation device from right tarsal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from 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 0SPH35Z

UNSPSC 85722061, Removal of external fixation device from right tarsal joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six most recent opportunities tagged under it solicited independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve tarsal joint fixation removal or the procedural orthopedic work the code nominates. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the underlying procurement system or use of this code as a catch-all category for medical services procurement broadly construed.

State and local buyers posting under this code represent diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice authorities (Harris County), county benefits administration (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). Without opportunities that actually align to the code's stated scope, no geographic concentration or representative recent procurement pattern emerges for tarsal joint surgery procurement specifically. Buyers seeking work under this code should verify independently that their service or product offering matches the actual need described in posting RFPs rather than relying on the UNSPSC code number alone.
