This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion 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 0SPMX3Z

UNSPSC 85721223 "Removal of infusion device from right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, external approach" is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure on a joint — does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it, which span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services. These opportunities represent administrative health services, benefits management, and workforce logistics rather than orthopedic surgical procedures or infusion device removal.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county procurement offices (Collier County), and county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), suggesting the code is used inconsistently across jurisdictions for health services procurement broadly. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The code's use for non-surgical administrative and benefits services rather than operative procedures suggests either a classification error in state and local procurement systems or a catch-all tagging practice that obscures the actual scope of work being bought.
