UNSPSC 85722208: Extirpation of matter from right tarsal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter 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 0SCH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85722208 Extirpation of matter from right tarsal joint, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical description—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not match the recent opportunities tagged under it, which instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty staffing for hospital ancillary services, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement rather than a specific procedure-line item. State and local buyers issuing under this code include county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, counties, and hospital entities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.

The two most concrete recent opportunities are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). Activity over the past three months also includes the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026) and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management through Centers of Excellence (proposals due October 7, 2026). Because the code's stated clinical scope bears no meaningful relation to the work being solicited, the actionability of this code for business development purposes is unclear without clarification of the underlying taxonomy assignment.
