UNSPSC 85722137: Insertion of spacer into right tarsal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0SHH38Z

UNSPSC 85722137 Insertion of spacer into right tarsal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose abstract title bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local procurement activity currently being solicited under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve tarsal joint procedures or orthopedic surgery. This mismatch suggests a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system; the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The geographic spread of these unrelated opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (WSDOT ferries), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county human resources and health departments, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile detention authorities. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026). Given the absence of tarsal joint or orthopedic procedural procurement in the recent-opportunities block, practitioners should verify the correct UNSPSC code before pursuing work in these health-care-adjacent categories.
