UNSPSC 85702625: Replacement of left metatarsal with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left metatarsal with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0QRP0KZ

UNSPSC 85702625 "Replacement of left metatarsal with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving orthopedic implant replacement, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code are entirely unrelated — they cover independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefits administration, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how opportunities were tagged or a systemic divergence between the code's medical-procedure scope and how issuing bodies are deploying the taxonomy. No state or local government opportunities in the source reflect procurement of metatarsal replacement implants, surgical teams, or related orthopedic devices or services.

The recent opportunities attributed to this code instead span health plan administration, occupational health services, and clinical staffing — functions typically governed by codes addressing benefits consulting, occupational medicine, and temporary staffing rather than surgical procedures. Issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical benefits carve-out, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty healthcare, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026). This code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local work in orthopedic implants or surgical services.
