This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0S5H3ZZ

UNSPSC 85722240 Destruction of right tarsal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical procedure scope and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures. Instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). The code appears to be either miscoded or administratively misdirected in the procurement systems capturing these opportunities, as none of the solicitations involve destruction of a tarsal joint or percutaneous surgical approaches.

Recent activity is distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The most substantial and concrete opportunities include the Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program, due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026. Because the code's nominal scope does not align with these solicitations, firms evaluating opportunities under this code should verify the actual clinical or administrative service category before pursuing.
