UNSPSC 85721219: Removal of infusion device from left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from left 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 0SPNX3Z

UNSPSC 85721219 Removal of infusion device from left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not align with that scope—instead covering occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability retirement medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and temporary clinical staffing. The mismatch suggests that either the code has been misapplied to these solicitations or the recent opportunities are not genuinely procurement-related to the code's stated surgical procedure.

The issuing bodies posting under or near this code span diverse public jurisdictions: the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office on behalf of two pension boards; the City of Long Beach; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department; Collier County Board of County Commissioners; and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 reflect health program administration, workforce health surveillance, and clinical staffing rather than surgical device removal or orthopedic intervention. Without concrete evidence that state and local governments are actively procuring the specific procedure named in UNSPSC 85721219, this code does not support a near-term business development strategy for surgical device or orthopedic procedure vendors.
