UNSPSC 85721404: Resection of right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right 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 0STM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85721404 Resection of right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under it. The recent opportunities reflect occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit program administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, and health plan management—none of which constitute orthopedic surgical procedures. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention, yet the state and local procurement activity tagged to it covers clinical staffing, benefits administration, and medical services contracting.

The mismatch indicates that this Commodity code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its surgical procedure definition. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), but none are soliciting surgical services or orthopedic procedure execution. Without meaningful recent opportunities reflecting actual demand for resection of right metatarsal-phalangeal joint procedures under state and local contracting, this code does not present a viable pursuit target for vendors in the orthopedic surgical space.
