UNSPSC 85702722: Reposition right metatarsal with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right metatarsal with internal fixation device, 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 0QSN34Z

UNSPSC 85702722, Reposition right metatarsal with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code with limited recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reveal a significant mismatch: the code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the solicitations posted under it do not procure that service. Instead, they encompass independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit program administration, occupational health surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve repositioning metatarsals or internal fixation. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the actual procedure it nominally names.

The geographic spread of the mismatched opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), but these reflect the breadth of the incorrectly tagged solicitations rather than a pattern of procurement activity under the code's actual scope. The issuing bodies include city and county government procurement offices, a state transportation department, and public health systems, but they are purchasing health plan administration, medical staffing, and occupational compliance services — not the orthopedic surgical procedure identified by the commodity code. Business development professionals should not pursue this code based on recent state and local opportunities; the activity present does not represent genuine demand for metatarsal repositioning services or related internal fixation work.
