This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter 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 0SCK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85721706 Extirpation of matter from right metatarsal-tarsal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure on the foot, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical record review and evaluation services, surgical procedure carve-outs through centers of excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and juvenile detention health services—none of which align with the code's nominal scope. The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the actual solicitations posted under it suggests either a data classification error in the state and local procurement system or that the code is being misapplied to general health services categories.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara, Collier County), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Harris County, Texas. However, because these opportunities do not reflect the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code, they offer no reliable signal of state and local demand for the specific work UNSPSC 85721706 describes. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification if pursuit is intended for health services, medical staffing, or occupational medicine offerings.
