UNSPSC 85702727: Replacement of right metatarsal with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right 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 0QRN3JZ

UNSPSC 85702727 Replacement of right metatarsal with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect a broad range of health services procurement—occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation administration, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence network carve-outs, temporary ancillary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty care for detained youth. The code appears to serve as a catch-all classification for healthcare services and benefit administration work rather than for the specific metatarsal replacement procedure its name suggests. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix). The geographic spread spans the West Coast and Southwest, with recent activity in Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida.

Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide, with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services and disability record summarization for approximately 75 annual pension disability applications, due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 maximum contract value over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP HR26753 for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence networks for its 3,800-member Anthem PPO population, due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The Collier County RFP 258414 for pharmacy benefit management services, posted August 20, 2026 with an April 9, 2026 deadline, represents the longest-lead opportunity, structured around historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million.
