UNSPSC 85702857: Destruction of left metatarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 0Q5P4ZZ

UNSPSC 85702857 Destruction of left metatarsal, percutaneous endoscopic approach, Commodity code, does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local solicitations posted between July and September 2026 — spanning independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and inpatient youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — reflect procurement of healthcare administration, occupational health programs, and staffing services rather than surgical procedures themselves. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting the specific procedure named in this code.

The recent opportunities involve diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal benefits departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington), county juvenile probation systems (Harris County), county boards of commissioners (Collier County), and health systems (Santa Clara County). Geographic spread is scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. The mismatch between the code's procedure-specific naming and the actual healthcare-services procurement occurring in state and local markets suggests this code may have been assigned in error or reflects administrative classification rather than operational buying patterns.
