UNSPSC 85702655: Drainage of right metatarsal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 0Q9N0ZZ

UNSPSC 85702655 "Drainage of right metatarsal, open approach" is a Commodity code whose title describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not involve surgical intervention on the metatarsal or any anatomical drainage procedure. Instead, the code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities posted under it address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability benefit medical record review, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of orthopedic surgery. This mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed in practice to capture broader health services procurement unrelated to its original definition. As a result, the code does not reliably indicate state and local demand for actual drainage-of-right-metatarsal surgical services.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Response deadlines range from late September through October 2026. No opportunity in the block solicits surgical intervention, implying that practitioners offering orthopedic surgical drainage services should treat this code as a poor procurement signal and pursue orthopedic surgery or specialty surgical services codes instead.
