UNSPSC 85721506: Removal of internal fixation device from left toe phalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device 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 0SPQ04Z

UNSPSC 85721506, Removal of internal fixation device from left toe phalangeal joint, open approach, is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its clinical scope. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic device removal or toe surgery. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services, surgery benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which match the procedure named in the code. State and local governments issuing under this code span county purchasing offices (Collier County in Florida, Harris County in Texas, Santa Clara County in California), municipal procurement (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington; activity appears episodic rather than concentrated.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. Representative opportunities tagged to the code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgery benefit carve-out services (HR26753, proposals due October 7, 2026) managing Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations. The mismatch between the code's surgical-device-removal scope and the actual work being solicited — which centers on medical administration, benefit design, and occupational health services — signals that this code does not currently reflect active state and local procurement for the procedure it nominally describes.
