UNSPSC 85721231 Removal of infusion device from right metatarsal-tarsal joint, external approach is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the opportunities posted under this code, which instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations address administrative health services, staffing arrangements, and benefit program management rather than the orthopedic surgical intervention the code describes.

Recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies across different states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services (due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners requested pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System sought temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code's tagging appears to reflect a data classification error rather than accurate commodity matching, suggesting procurement offices should verify coding alignment before relying on this code to locate relevant suppliers.
