UNSPSC 85721403: Resection of left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, 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 0STN0ZZ

UNSPSC 85721403 Resection of left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code procure occupational medical surveillance services, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve surgical resection or foot procedures. The mismatch reflects a systematic tagging misalignment rather than legitimate procurement scope under the code's defined surgical specialty.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal benefits functions (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (County of Santa Clara), county probation departments (Harris County), and county commissioners boards (Collier County), spanning Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. No repeat buyer appears more than once in the source, and no pattern of procurement activity meaningfully aligns with foot surgery services. The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing orthopedic surgical procurement.
