UNSPSC 85702713: Supplement left metatarsal with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left metatarsal with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 0QUP37Z

UNSPSC 85702713 Supplement left metatarsal with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities tagged under this code in the state and local market are for independent medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgery, prosthetic implants, or any procedure related to metatarsal supplementation. The code appears to have been assigned to these opportunities in error or through overly broad categorization, as the actual work being procured falls under medical administration, staffing, and benefits management rather than surgical procedures or implantable devices.

State and local procurement under this code as currently tagged does not support a meaningful business development focus. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure using autologous tissue—and the actual opportunities posted suggests either systematic miscoding or that this particular procedure code is rarely used in state and local procurement databases. Firms pursuing orthopedic implant, surgical device, or procedure-specific opportunities should verify code assignment independently rather than relying on this taxonomy entry as a reliable signal.
