UNSPSC 85702511: Reposition left metatarsal, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left metatarsal, external 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 0QSPXZZ

UNSPSC 85702511 Reposition left metatarsal, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a surgical procedure for foot orthopedics, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification involve occupational medical surveillance, pension disability evaluations, health plan carve-outs for surgical procedures, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which constitute the specific orthopedic procedure the code names. State and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities with this code despite the evident mismatch between the code's clinical procedure title and the actual health administration and staffing services being solicited.

The issuing bodies across the recent block include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara), state departments of transportation (Washington), county probation departments (Harris County), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award pool for temporary health professional staffing services due October 7, 2026. The code's assignment appears to reflect administrative tagging rather than actual procurement of the orthopedic procedure the code nominally describes, signaling limited relevance for vendors specializing in the procedure itself.
