This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of infusion device in left metatarsal-tarsal joint, external approach.

UNSPSC 85721139 Revision of infusion device in left metatarsal-tarsal joint, external approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure on the foot, yet the recent opportunities posted under it reflect diverse healthcare services procurement bearing no relationship to orthopedic device revision — independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve infusion devices, metatarsal-tarsal joints, or external surgical approaches.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state health systems (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries; County of Santa Clara Health System), county government (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department; Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and city government (City of Phoenix Retirement Office; City of Long Beach). Recent activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, with no clear geographic pattern. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be a tagging artifact rather than a meaningful procurement category for state and local contracting; vendors should verify code classification with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities posted under this designation.
