UNSPSC 85721604: Inspection of right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of 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 0SJM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85721604 Inspection of right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it do not solicit that service; instead, they request comprehensive medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing services—work that falls outside the scope of a single-joint inspection procedure. State and local governments are not currently buying this specific medical procedure through formal procurement notices tagged to this code.

The six recent opportunities include issuing bodies across multiple jurisdiction types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (municipal pension boards), the City of Long Beach (municipal employees), the Washington State Department of Transportation (state agency), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (county), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (county), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (county health authority). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The opportunities—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (Phoenix, due October 16, 2026), surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employees (Long Beach, due October 7, 2026), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Ferries, due October 9, 2026), emergency and specialty care for detained youth (Harris County, due September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit management covering approximately $8.7 million in annual spending (Collier County, due April 9, 2026), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (Santa Clara, due October 7, 2026)—demonstrate heavy procurement activity in occupational medicine, benefits administration, and clinical staffing rather than orthopedic joint inspection. The code assignment appears to be a data classification mismatch and does not reflect current state and local buying patterns.
