UNSPSC 85721449: Replacement of right metatarsal-tarsal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right metatarsal-tarsal joint with synthetic 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 0SRK0JZ

UNSPSC 85721449, Replacement of right metatarsal-tarsal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect procurement of this procedure or related medical devices. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve procurement of metatarsal-tarsal joint implants or related surgical supplies.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing, RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), and Collier County (pharmacy benefit management services, RFP 25-8414, effective January 1, 2026). Geographic spread includes Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited indicates that this code either receives miscoded opportunities or sees little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with orthopedic implant procurement by state and local governments.
