UNSPSC 85702725: Replacement of left metatarsal with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of 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 0QRP37Z

UNSPSC 85702725 Replacement of left metatarsal with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry employees, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing for a county health system. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgery, metatarsal procedures, or tissue-substitute techniques. The code appears to have been misapplied across a range of healthcare services procurement that spans medical record review, benefits administration, occupational health screening, detention healthcare, pharmacy management, and clinical staffing—activities that fall outside the procedure's actual clinical scope.

State and local issuing bodies represented in these opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, reflecting activity across multiple regions. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's stated procedure and the work actually being solicited, this code should not be relied upon as a meaningful procurement signal for orthopedic surgical services or tissue-substitute implants in state and local markets.
