UNSPSC 85702617: Resection of left metatarsal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left metatarsal, open 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 0QTP0ZZ

UNSPSC 85702617 Resection of left metatarsal, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not match the work state and local governments are purchasing under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged to this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these services involve orthopedic surgery or metatarsal procedures.

The source contains no recent opportunities that procure resection of left metatarsal procedures or related orthopedic surgical services. The mismatch between the code's formal definition and the actual buying signals in the procurement record suggests either a coding error in the source material or that this code is not actively used by state and local buyers for its nominal scope. A business development professional evaluating this code should clarify the tagging discrepancy with procurement offices before assuming this code represents a viable opportunity pipeline.
