UNSPSC 85702747: Extirpation of matter from left metatarsal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0QCP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85702747 Extirpation of matter from left metatarsal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this category. The recent solicitations tagged to this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which relate to podiatric surgery or the extraction of foreign material from foot bones. The code appears misapplied across these opportunities, suggesting a taxonomy classification error in the source data rather than a genuine procurement category in active use.

No state or local procurements aligned with the nominal scope of this code appear in the recent opportunities. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional health systems, but their actual demand — occupational health examinations, pharmacy administration, temporary clinical staffing, and medical record review for pension determinations — falls outside the surgical orthopedic scope this code nominally describes. Vendors evaluating this code should treat it as a low-signal category in state and local procurement and verify that opportunities tagged under UNSPSC 85702747 match their service lines before committing pursuit resources.
