This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right 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 0SPP0KZ

UNSPSC 85721509 (Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right toe phalangeal joint, open approach), a Commodity code, does not align with state and local procurement activity currently posted under this designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or the removal of tissue substitutes from phalangeal joints. State and local procurement offices appear to have misclassified these health-services and benefits-administration opportunities at the commodity level; the code's specificity to a narrow surgical procedure does not match the breadth of health and human-services contracting posted under it.

The issuing bodies span state health and transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation for occupational medical surveillance, County of Santa Clara Health System for temporary staffing), county government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners for pharmacy benefit management, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department for youth detention medical services), and municipal human resources and retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office for disability medical evaluations, City of Long Beach for surgical procedure networks). Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence for orthopedic, spine, cardiac, and oncology procedures (due October 7, 2026, contract term through 2032), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with five one-year renewal options). The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement signals either systematic miscoding or a data integrity issue within the source system.
