UNSPSC 85702724: Replacement of left metatarsal with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left metatarsal with synthetic 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 0QRP3JZ

UNSPSC 85702724 Replacement of left metatarsal with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities solicited under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, and surgical procedure carve-out networks — none of which involve metatarsal replacement or direct surgical intervention. The classification mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the state or local procurement system or a systematic misalignment between the code's technical surgical descriptor and the health-services categories it captures in practice. State and local governments posting under this code are purchasing health-benefit administration, medical staffing, and occupational medicine services rather than implantable medical devices or surgical procedures.

The recent activity spans multiple issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out networks for an Anthem PPO plan, proposals due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026, proposals due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 7,200 covered members, proposals due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, proposals due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity centers on California, Arizona, Florida, and Washington, with no clear pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated procurement. Given the fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content, pursue opportunities under this code only after confirming internal classification with the issuing body, as the code itself provides minimal signal for targeted business development.
