UNSPSC 85702826: Replacement of right metatarsal with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right metatarsal with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0QRN4KZ

UNSPSC 85702826 Replacement of right metatarsal with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that carries a clinical procedure descriptor but does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out programs — none of which involve metatarsal replacement or endoscopic orthopedic procedures. State and local buyers are using this code to classify requests for medical service administration, benefits management, and occupational health compliance rather than surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human services agencies (Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with no clear geographic concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluations supporting disability pension determinations for public safety personnel (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP for a surgical procedure carve-out program managing Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, spine, and oncology procedures (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation for a qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary health professional staffing categories (due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be a misclassification artifact; bidders should verify the actual service requirement in each individual RFP rather than rely on the UNSPSC descriptor.
