UNSPSC 85721439: Replacement of left metatarsal-phalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left metatarsal-phalangeal 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 0SRN0KZ

UNSPSC 85721439 Replacement of left metatarsal-phalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under it—including independent medical evaluations for pension-board disability determinations, surgical benefits carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are administrative and operational healthcare services that do not align with orthopedic implant procurement or surgical procedure delivery. The mismatch between the code's technical surgical scope and the administrative and staffing services actually being solicited suggests this code has been applied inconsistently or as a default category in state and local systems.

The geographic spread of the opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county human resources and health departments, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile probation departments. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code definition and the services actually solicited, this code does not present a coherent procurement pipeline for vendors in any single product or service line.
