UNSPSC 85705238: Reposition right toe phalanx with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right toe phalanx with internal fixation device, percutaneous 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 0QSQ34Z

UNSPSC 85705238 Reposition right toe phalanx with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical procedure scope and the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under it. The code appears in six recent opportunities, but none involve orthopedic surgery, implants, or surgical fixation devices; instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluation services, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, and specialty emergency services for detained youth. No recent state and local procurement under this code involves the specific toe-phalanx procedure its name denotes. The tagging appears to reflect a broader classification error rather than active market demand for the procedure itself under state and local contracts.

State and local issuing bodies using this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), counties (Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal governments (City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 for occupational health examinations at 14 ferry terminals across Washington; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 for disability benefits determinations ($750,000 over five years); and the Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing solicitation due October 7, 2026 establishing a qualified vendor pool for ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and therapy services. Activity appears concentrated in California, Washington, Arizona, and Florida. Given the mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the actual opportunities, this code merits verification against the state and local procurement system's classification engine before pursuit.
