UNSPSC 85721182: Reposition right metatarsal-tarsal joint with internal fixation device, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right metatarsal-tarsal joint with internal fixation device, 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 0SSKX4Z

UNSPSC 85721182 Reposition right metatarsal-tarsal joint with internal fixation device, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged with this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedure coding or implant procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific surgical intervention on the metatarsal-tarsal joint) and the medical services and benefits management solicitations suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental absence of state and local procurement activity within this code's intended commodity boundary.

State and local procurement activity under codes nominally describing surgical procedures typically reflects either capital equipment, implant devices, or surgical services contracts, none of which appear in the recent opportunities block. The issuing bodies involved—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are pursuing administrative, clinical staffing, and benefits management services rather than orthopedic implants or surgical reposition procedures. If orthopedic joint repair implants are being procured by state and local bodies, they are not appearing under this specific code in current market activity.
