UNSPSC 85702737: Removal of synthetic substitute from right metatarsal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right 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 0QPN3JZ

UNSPSC 85702737 Removal of synthetic substitute from right metatarsal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks for government employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the procedure named in the code itself. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a singular metatarsal procedure) and the range of medical administration, staffing, and benefits management work actually being solicited suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a systematic classification error in how these opportunities have been tagged in the state and local procurement system.

The seven recent opportunities spanning Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County) do represent active medical and health-services procurement across state departments, counties, and municipalities, but the code itself does not track what state and local governments actually buy. Business development professionals should verify correct code assignment before pursuing opportunities in this category or consider whether the code's actual scope — surgical orthopedic procedures for state and local employees or beneficiaries — appears in procurement activity under different UNSPSC classifications.
