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 0SPN04Z

UNSPSC 85721522 Removal of internal fixation device from left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code's technical medical-procedure specificity does not align with the state and local contract opportunities tagged to it in recent months.

The most recent opportunities carrying this code designation span occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical and medical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management for county employees and retirees (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). These solicitations—RFPs, RFQs, and RFIs posted between July and September 2026 with response dates clustering in September through October 2026—address health plan administration, workforce staffing, and occupational health programs rather than orthopedic surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include county governments, city procurement offices, and state transportation and health authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code assignment appears to be a classification artifact rather than a reflection of actual procurement intent under the commodity's stated procedure.
