UNSPSC 85721461: Repair left metatarsal-tarsal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left metatarsal-tarsal 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 0SQL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85721461 Repair left metatarsal-tarsal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally denotes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the code's clinical scope. The opportunities posted under this designation actually span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, employee benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which concern orthopedic joint repair. This mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the sourcing system or that the code has been misapplied to a broader health services category. State and local issuing bodies active under this code include county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, county probation departments, county human resources divisions, and county health care consortiums. The issuing-body mix reflects fragmented procurement across human resources, benefits management, occupational health, public safety retirement, and detention healthcare functions rather than a unified surgical services procurement channel.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summary preparation and physician examination coordination for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under a $750,000 five-year term; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 Washington State ferry locations; the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) to establish a vendor pool for temporary staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, orthopedic, and surgical services; and Collier County's RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services (258414, due April 9, 2026) covering eligibility management, claims processing, and specialty drug administration for approximately 4,800 covered members. The code exhibits minimal recent activity directly aligned with orthopedic joint surgery procurement.
