This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of spacer in right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, external 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 0SWMX8Z

UNSPSC 85721127 Revision of spacer in right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, external approach is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—orthopedic surgical procedure coding—does not match the work being actively solicited under this tag. Recent opportunities posted against this code encompass medical surveillance, occupational health examinations, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical carve-out programs for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These represent diverse medical administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing services rather than a single orthopedic procedure or related device supply. State and local issuers tagging opportunities to this code include city retirement offices, county commissioners, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county juvenile probation departments—a broad cross-section of public-sector buyers with no dominant repeat pattern.

The geographic spread spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code's misalignment with recent opportunity scope suggests either a data-entry error in tagging or that this Commodity code rarely surfaces in actual state and local procurement practice.
