This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left tarsal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85722179 (Fusion of left tarsal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code are primarily solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve tarsal joint fusion procedures or surgical implant procurement. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging inconsistency or opportunistic tagging by issuing bodies; the code does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying in current solicitations.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county boards (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years for disability benefit application review; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary health professional staffing RFP due October 7, 2026, establishing a qualified vendor pool for ancillary clinical categories. The code warrants close review before pursuit; the procedural code assignment does not match the administrative and occupational health services actually being procured.
