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 0QQRXZZ

UNSPSC 85704925 Repair left toe phalanx, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical repair procedure—does not align with the work being solicited under it in recent opportunities. The most recent solicitations posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services for pension systems, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, and health-plan surgical benefit administration. None of these services involve repair of a left toe phalanx or orthopedic surgery delivery; rather, they address medical evaluation administration, network management, claims processing, staffing coordination, and benefit program design. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the underlying procurement database or that the code is being used as a catch-all for miscellaneous health-services procurements rather than for the specific surgical procedure it nominates.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county human resources and health-benefits operations (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. With the exception of Santa Clara County's five-year qualified-vendor pool and Collier County's three-year PBM contract (approximately $8.7 million annually), most opportunities are narrowly scoped, single-award arrangements for specialized administrative or clinical services. The code does not reflect a coherent product or service line and does not appear to be a reliable signal for pursuing state and local health-services procurement.
