UNSPSC 85721441: Replacement of left metatarsal-phalangeal joint with autologous 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 autologous 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 0SRN07Z

UNSPSC 85721441 Replacement of left metatarsal-phalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a highly specific surgical procedure — orthopedic joint replacement using autologous tissue — yet recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not solicits for that procedure or related implants, surgical services, or medical devices. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical carve-out networks for Centers of Excellence. None of these services involve joint replacement surgery or the supply of orthopedic implants or surgical materials. The mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the tagging or that the code is used as a catchall for broader health services procurement that does not map cleanly to orthopedic surgery.

The recent opportunities show issuers spanning county health departments (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county commissioners offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city government (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity is dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single region. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (response due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (response due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026). Pursuit under this code is not recommended without clarification from the issuing body on whether the code assignment reflects the actual scope of work or represents a data-entry error.
