This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition 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 0SSM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85721418 Reposition right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that maps to a surgical procedure designation; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with orthopedic surgery or joint repositioning work. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement of comprehensive healthcare services — inmate medical and pharmacy management, pharmacy benefit administration for employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support for behavioral health workers, and medical direction for emergency services. This mismatch between code taxonomy and actual buying activity suggests the code has little relevant recent procurement signal for vendors in surgical services or medical devices.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California) and municipalities (Santa Monica, California) seeking healthcare service contracts ranging from correctional facility medical management to county employee health plan administration to virtual care platforms. Geographic activity spans the Southeast, Southwest, and West Coast. Representative opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026, current contract value approximately $95,537.71 monthly), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering roughly 2,400 employees with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million, and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 members with a contract effective October 1, 2026. None of these solicitations involve the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code, indicating that practitioners in joint surgery or device supply should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes.
