This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into right toe 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 0SHP08Z

UNSPSC 85721613 Insertion of spacer into right toe phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities reflect procurement of broader medical evaluation, surveillance, and staffing services rather than phalangeal joint procedures or orthopedic implants. The issuing bodies across recent postings include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice authority (Harris County), and a county benefits office (Collier County). This fragmented mix across retirement administration, municipal health benefits, occupational health, youth detention services, and pharmacy benefit management suggests the code is being applied inconsistently or as a catch-all for health-related services.

Recent opportunities posted under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 maximum over five years, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services (due October 7, 2026); and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program for Centers of Excellence in knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures (due October 7, 2026). Geographic concentration centers on California (Santa Clara County, Long Beach), Washington (WSDOT), Arizona (Phoenix), and Texas (Harris County), with no dominant state-level buyer visible. The code shows no recent activity aligned with orthopedic implants or joint procedures, signaling that either the code assignment is incorrect or procurement activity under this specific procedure line is not being solicited at the state and local level currently.
