UNSPSC 85721445: Replacement of left metatarsal-tarsal 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-tarsal 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 0SRL0KZ

UNSPSC 85721445, "Replacement of left metatarsal-tarsal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach," is a Commodity code that shows a clear mismatch between its clinical-procedure nomenclature and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. Recent opportunities solicited under this code reflect administrative and occupational health services, not surgical orthopedic procedures matching the code's formal description. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach is requesting surgical procedure carve-out benefit program management for employee health plans; the Washington State Department of Transportation is procuring occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is soliciting pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories. None of these solicitations concern orthopedic joint replacement procedures or the procurement of implants, surgical supplies, or surgical services directly aligned with the code's clinical scope.

The recent-opportunity block reveals activity across state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government purchasing offices (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and municipal procurement bureaus (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach) spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code shows no coherent procurement pattern around the stated commodity and does not support a business development focus. Vendors pursuing state and local contracts under this code should verify the actual scope of work and the issuing body's intended commodity code before investing in pursuit, as the tagging appears inconsistent with typical health plan administration, staffing, and occupational health service procurements that dominate the recent record.
