UNSPSC 85721526: Removal of synthetic substitute from right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right 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 0SPM0JZ

UNSPSC 85721526, Removal of synthetic substitute from right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity currently being solicited. The recent opportunities tagged under this code cover occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or joint implant removal. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention, yet the procurement opportunities reflect administrative health benefits contracting, occupational medicine services, and healthcare staffing arrangements that serve state and local workforce populations rather than surgical service delivery.

State and local governments show no recent activity seeking the specific orthopedic procedure named in this code. The issuing bodies represented in the available opportunities—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are pursuing health program administration and staffing services, not surgical procedures. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, but activity under this code classification does not reflect procurement for the surgical service the code nominally describes. A business development professional evaluating this code for state and local opportunity should note the mismatch between the code's intended scope and current tagged activity, and treat the code as dormant for surgical procedure contracting purposes in the current market.
