UNSPSC 85702750: Excision of right metatarsal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0QBN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85702750 Excision of right metatarsal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with that clinical scope. The opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures. This mismatch suggests the code is being misapplied or that state and local procurement systems are tagging healthcare services and contracting opportunities with procedure-specific codes rather than appropriate service-category codes.

The issuing bodies span a county consolidated government (Columbus, Georgia), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), a county health department (Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health agency (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Geographic activity is scattered across Florida, Georgia, California, and no clear concentration emerges from the sample. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026) covering approximately 576 inmates with comprehensive medical, pharmacy, and dental services; Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026) serving approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical spending near $8.7 million annually; and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026) for approximately 2,300 county members. None of these opportunities relate to surgical procedures. The code assignment appears inconsistent with actual procurement intent, making it an unreliable indicator for business development targeting.
