UNSPSC 85702848: Extirpation of matter from right metatarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter 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 0QCN4ZZ

UNSPSC 85702848 Extirpation of matter from right metatarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this classification do not involve orthopedic or podiatric surgical services. Instead, the opportunities address independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for health insurance, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. None of these activities involve the extirpation or removal of matter from the metatarsal bone or foot-specific interventional procedures. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data error in how these opportunities were tagged or a broader tagging pattern that does not reflect the precise commodity definition.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida, issued by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). The code's apparent misclassification across diverse health administration and clinical staffing categories suggests that buyers should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities nominally under this code.
