UNSPSC 85721379: Supplement left metatarsal-tarsal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left metatarsal-tarsal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open 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 0SUL07Z

UNSPSC 85721379 Supplement left metatarsal-tarsal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show no alignment with orthopedic joint supplementation. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational and disability medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension-benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code may be miscoded in state and local procurement systems, or the taxonomy is being applied inconsistently. None of the six opportunities in the most-recent block describes joint supplementation, autologous tissue procedures, or related orthopedic interventions.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice authorities (Harris County), and county benefit consortiums (Collier County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's October 7, 2026 RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing. Given the systematic mismatch between the code definition and posted opportunities, firms should verify code assignment with procurement offices before pursuing work under this designation.
