UNSPSC 85721725: Drainage of left metatarsal-tarsal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left 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 0S9L0ZZ

UNSPSC 85721725 Drainage of left metatarsal-tarsal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 are tagged to this surgical procedure code but describe occupational health surveillance services (Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations concern orthopedic joint drainage procedures, and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing activity renders this code an unreliable signal for business development targeting.

The tagging appears to be a categorization error rather than evidence of state and local demand for drainage-of-metatarsal-tarsal-joint services at the commodity level. Vendors offering orthopedic surgical services, implants, or procedure-specific supplies should not rely on this code's recent activity to forecast opportunity flow. The jurisdictions active under this code—a state department of transportation, a major city retirement board, two municipal health plans, a county juvenile justice system, a county health consortium, and a regional county health system—are substantially different buying populations depending on the actual goods or services pursued, but the code itself does not represent a coherent procurement category among them.
