UNSPSC 85721232: Removal of drainage device from right metatarsal-tarsal joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from right metatarsal-tarsal 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 0SPKX0Z

UNSPSC 85721232, Removal of drainage device from right metatarsal-tarsal joint, external approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical procedural scope. The code appears to describe a specific surgical intervention on the foot; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code classify as occupational health surveillance, employee health benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and disability medical evaluation services — none of which involve orthopedic drainage-device removal procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a data-classification error or that state and local governments are not actively procuring the specific procedure this code names through standard procurement channels at present.

The actual opportunities tagged under the code span diverse issuing bodies including municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County). Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Recent representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Code activity does not reflect procurement of the discrete orthopedic procedure the UNSPSC designation nominally describes.
