This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from right metatarsal-tarsal 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 0SPK07Z

UNSPSC 85721544 "Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right metatarsal-tarsal joint, open approach" is a Commodity code that shows no material alignment between its clinical procedure title and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's literal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under it involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care-out networks, and emergency youth detention medical services — none of which involve autologous tissue implant removal or foot/ankle surgery. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code has been applied broadly to capture general health services procurement in ways that depart from its nominal definition. State and local buyers posting under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county pension administrators (Phoenix Retirement Office), city employee health plans (Long Beach), county health care consortia (Collier County), and juvenile detention authorities (Harris County). The geographic spread spans California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida.

Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years) supporting disability benefit determinations for firefighters and police; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year base term with five optional one-year extensions); the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive staffing qualification vehicle for temporary health professionals across 13 ancillary clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, five-year list maintenance); and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical care-out and specialty medical procedure networks through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026, two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals). The code shows regular activity but driven by general health services demand rather than the specific surgical procedure named in the code title.
