UNSPSC 85721501: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left toe phalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left toe phalangeal 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 0SPQ0KZ

UNSPSC 85721501, Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left toe phalangeal joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this classification span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. These solicitations address administrative health services, staffing, and benefit program management—not the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either inconsistent code assignment by issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed in practice to encompass broader health services procurement.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Recent opportunities are geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single jurisdiction appearing more than once in the recent posting window. The Washington State Ferries (WSDOT) RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance closed October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services is due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing closed October 7, 2026. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's surgical nomenclature and the administrative health services actually being solicited, the code shows little relevant activity for firms offering orthopedic or podiatric surgical services.
