UNSPSC 85705246: Replacement of left toe phalanx with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left toe phalanx with synthetic substitute, 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 0QRR3JZ

UNSPSC 85705246 Replacement of left toe phalanx with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities captured under this code. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — replacement of the first toe bone with a prosthetic implant via minimally invasive technique — yet the six most recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical record summarization, surgical centers of excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and juvenile detention health services. None of these solicitations involve procurement of toe phalanx prosthetics, surgical implants, orthopedic procedure supplies, or related medical devices or services tied to the code's stated procedure.

State and local procurement offices appear to have misclassified these opportunities at the UNSPSC level, routing unrelated medical, administrative, and staffing services to a code intended for a discrete prosthetic implant product line. The code shows no identifiable recent activity for the product or service it nominally describes. Buyers in this space should verify the actual scope of work directly from each solicitation rather than relying on the UNSPSC classification alone, and should monitor this code for future reclassification or for genuine prosthetic and orthopedic implant procurement activity from state and local health systems, workers' compensation programs, or public employee benefit administrators.
