This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from right 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 0QPN07Z

UNSPSC 85702640 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right metatarsal, open approach is a Commodity code that displays a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical taxonomy label and the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities associated with this code are not orthopedic surgical procedures but rather occupational health services, independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health plan carve-outs, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the code's stated scope of autologous tissue removal from the metatarsal. State and local issuing bodies tagging work to this code are soliciting administrative health services, benefits program management, and staffing coordination rather than the procedural intervention the code name describes. This indicates either a data classification error in the underlying procurement system or a misapplication of UNSPSC taxonomy by the issuing bodies themselves.

The recent solicitation activity under this code spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. The Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is seeking independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services for approximately 75 annual pension applications; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) is requesting surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for enrolled employees and retirees; the Washington State Department of Transportation's Ferries division (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal locations; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026) issued an information request for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County (RFP 25-8414) is managing pharmacy benefit administration covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members; and Santa Clara Health System (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The issuing bodies include county governments, municipal health systems, state transportation agencies, and special districts — a diverse mix with no repeat buyer pattern evident in the recent set.
