UNSPSC 85705125: Release 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 0QNR0ZZ

UNSPSC 85705125 Release left toe phalanx, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence, specialty medical staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve phalanx release surgery or surgical procedure codes in the traditional sense. The mismatch suggests either data-classification error or that the code is being used to tag broader medical and healthcare service procurement rather than discrete surgical interventions.

The issuing bodies include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications, $750,000 maximum contract value over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 (baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations across 14 Washington locations), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-outs through Centers of Excellence due October 7, 2026 (pre- and post-care for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management services with historical spending of approximately $8.7 million annually. No opportunities under this code represent actual surgical procedure contracting; the code's use appears disconnected from its stated commodity scope.
