UNSPSC 85702650: Extirpation of matter from right metatarsal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right metatarsal, open approach.

UNSPSC 85702650 Extirpation of matter from right metatarsal, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on the right foot—does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. Recent opportunities show minimal relevant activity: the code appears applied to medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing, none of which involve the podiatric surgical procedure the code name describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of health services procurements or inconsistent application of UNSPSC taxonomy by issuing bodies in this space.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code span city pension offices, municipal employee benefits programs, state transportation departments, county probation systems, and county health networks across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the work being solicited—medical administration, benefits design, occupational surveillance compliance, pharmacy claims processing, and clinical staffing—falls outside the scope of the code's surgical terminology. No representative opportunities directly match the code's ostensible commodity definition. Practitioners should verify code assignment before pursuing health services opportunities under this number.
