UNSPSC 85702729: Repair left metatarsal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left metatarsal, 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 0QQP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85702729 Repair left metatarsal, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code names a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve metatarsal repair or orthopedic procedural work. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, juvenile probation departments, and county boards of commissioners, indicating no coherent end use.

The geographic spread covers Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with response dates ranging from September 25, 2026 through October 9, 2026. The code appears to have been misapplied to health-services procurement generally rather than to a specific surgical procedure line, and does not reflect genuine metatarsal repair contracting. State and local buyers interested in orthopedic or surgical procedure contracting should verify the correct UNSPSC classification; this code does not support relevant market intelligence for that end use.
