UNSPSC 85705501: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left toe phalanx, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left toe phalanx, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0QPR4KZ

UNSPSC 85705501 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left toe phalanx, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no material recent activity in state and local procurement aligned with its clinical procedure nomenclature. The six most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency services for detained youth—none of which involve orthopedic tissue removal or podiatric procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the source opportunities or a systematic miscoding of health-services procurement by issuing bodies. State and local buyers appear to be using broader or parent-code health services categories for their actual acquisitions rather than drilling to this specific procedure-level code.

The geographic spread of the six opportunities spans Washington State (occupational medical surveillance through Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County emergency and specialty services), Arizona (City of Phoenix independent medical evaluations), California (City of Long Beach surgical carve-out and County of Santa Clara temporary staffing), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), with no geographic concentration evident. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county boards of commissioners, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices. Recent solicitations include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing qualification pool (due October 7, 2026). Because none of these opportunities involve the tissue-removal procedure the code nominally describes, this code does not represent a viable procurement category for vendors focused on orthopedic or podiatric surgical services.
