UNSPSC 85721520: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from left metatarsal-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 0SPN07Z

UNSPSC 85721520 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement relevance; the code nominally describes a surgical procedure but does not match the scope of work actually being solicited under it in current state and local markets. Recent opportunities tagged with this code instead reflect broader medical services contracting—occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which involve the specific orthopedic surgical procedure the code name describes. State and local buyers posting under this code include county health systems, city retirement boards, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county boards of commissioners, indicating fragmented issuing bodies across multiple administrative functions rather than a coherent procurement family.

Geographic activity spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational health), Arizona (City of Phoenix retirement medical evaluations), California (City of Long Beach surgical carve-out, County of Santa Clara health professional staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty medical services), with no jurisdictional concentration evident. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (due October 9, 2026, with occupational medicine physician board certification required), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services supporting approximately 75 annual public safety pension disability determinations ($750,000 maximum over five years, due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no alignment with orthopedic surgical procedure procurement and should be treated as a tagging mismatch rather than a category with actionable market signal.
