UNSPSC 85721222: Removal of internal fixation device from right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from 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 0SPMX4Z

UNSPSC 85721222, "Removal of internal fixation device from right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, external approach," is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal surgical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code across state and local jurisdictions are unrelated to orthopedic device removal; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit program administration, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. The code's taxonomy designation does not align with the work actually being solicited by state and local buyers in the current market.

No state or local procurement activity matching the code's stated scope—removal of internal fixation devices from the right metatarsal-phalangeal joint—appears in the recent opportunities block. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the purchasing activity attached to it signals either a data-classification error or a gap in recent solicitation volume under this particular procedure code. For a vendor targeting state and local medical device or orthopedic surgical services, this code warrants monitoring for future activity but does not present current pursuit opportunities.
