This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from left toe phalanx, open 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 0QPR07Z

UNSPSC 85705107 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left toe phalanx, open approach is a Commodity code that shows significant misalignment between its nominal scope—a highly specific surgical procedure code—and the actual work state and local governments are buying under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve the orthopedic procedure the code nominally describes. The divergence suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement not otherwise categorized. Issuing bodies posting under this code span county human resources departments, county public safety retirement boards, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice authorities, and county health systems. The work actually being solicited is administrative health services coordination, benefits management, occupational health compliance, and temporary clinical staffing—operational support functions rather than direct surgical or procedural services.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, based on recent postings from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services, proposals due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753 for surgical procedure carve-out benefits, proposals due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance, proposals due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI 071626BNM for emergency and specialty medical services, responses due September 25, 2026), and Collier County (RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services). The range of issuing bodies—state transportation, city retirement systems, county health systems, and county human services—and the operational scope of the work (benefits administration, occupational compliance, staffing pools, medical record management) indicate that this code does not reliably signal opportunities for vendors in the surgical procedures it nominally describes. Business development professionals should verify the actual scope through source documents rather than relying on the code classification.
