This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right tarsal joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0SPH4JZ

UNSPSC 85722558 Removal of synthetic substitute from right tarsal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code concern independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic joint procedures or percutaneous endoscopic surgery. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in state and local procurement databases; the opportunities reflect administrative healthcare services, staffing, and benefit management rather than surgical intervention.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span diverse jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability pension evaluation), the City of Long Beach (employee health benefits), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (detention healthcare), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy administration), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic coverage includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative current solicitations include Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026 for $750,000 over five years; Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026 targeting Centers of Excellence for orthopedic and specialty procedures; and WSDOT's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 across 14 Washington ferry locations. Because the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited diverge fundamentally, pursuit under this code designation carries significant misalignment risk; vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before responding to opportunities.
