UNSPSC 85702836: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right metatarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right metatarsal, 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 0QPN4KZ

UNSPSC 85702836 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right metatarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the foot, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code—spanning disability medical evaluations, health plan surgical benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent general health plan administration, occupational medicine, and staffing services with no documented connection to metatarsal or tissue-substitute surgical procedures. This mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the posting system or misapplication of the UNSPSC taxonomy at the point of procurement entry.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county jurisdictions (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and municipal entities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear pattern of repeat buyers under this code's nominal scope. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting public safety pension disability determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of metatarsal-surgery or tissue-substitute procurement signals in any posted opportunity, this code warrants review of its assignment rules within the procurement issuing system before business development resources are allocated.
