UNSPSC 85721380: Supplement right metatarsal-tarsal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right metatarsal-tarsal joint with nonautologous 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 0SUK0KZ

UNSPSC 85721380 Supplement right metatarsal-tarsal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect direct procurement of that service. Instead, the code's recent activity captures a broad mix of occupational health services, medical evaluation programs, employee health benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's ostensible scope of a foot-joint surgical implant procedure. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation agencies, and county commissioners' offices, spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No meaningful pattern of activity supports this code as a reliable marker for orthopedic implant procurement at the state and local level.

The most recent opportunities posted under this code are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employee health plans (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members (effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million). This code shows little relevant recent activity for the surgical implant procedure it nominally describes; the mismatch between the code's name and the opportunities it captures suggests potential miscoding or a systematic tagging error in the state and local procurement systems currently feeding this category.
