This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into left metatarsal-tarsal joint, open approach.

UNSPSC 85721625 Insertion of spacer into left metatarsal-tarsal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged to it in state and local solicitations.

The most recent opportunities under this code cover occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP, October 9, 2026), independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP, October 16, 2026), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach, RFP, October 7, 2026), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI, September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP, April 9, 2026), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical roles (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFQ, October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities solicit the specific orthopedic joint-spacer procedure the code describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding or administrative tagging error on the part of the issuing jurisdictions. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for substantive procurement planning purposes and verify the intended UNSPSC classification if pursuing work in orthopedic implants, occupational medicine, or health benefit administration.
