UNSPSC 85702620: Reposition left metatarsal with external fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left metatarsal with external fixation device, 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 0QSP05Z

UNSPSC 85702620 Reposition left metatarsal with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve general healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit management rather than the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these health services contracts with a surgical procedure code, indicating a mismatch between the code's intended scope and its actual application in the market.

The issuing bodies span diverse public entities: city retirement offices and pension boards (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile detention systems (Harris County), county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional health systems. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based multiple-award RFP for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Because the code does not genuinely represent the work being procured, monitoring this code for actual surgical device or orthopedic procedure sourcing is not recommended; the underlying activity belongs to healthcare administration or staffing taxonomies, not surgical interventions.
