UNSPSC 85721735: Destruction of left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 0S5N0ZZ

UNSPSC 85721735 Destruction of left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on a specific joint, yet the six posted opportunities spanning August through September 2026 solicit medical and health professional services entirely unrelated to orthopedic joint destruction — independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing placement. None of these solicitations reference the orthopedic procedure named in the code.

The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the state and local procurement system or that this code is not actively used by state and local buyers for its nominal scope. No relevant recent activity appears in the available opportunities block. A business development professional should verify the code's application in the specific jurisdiction's procurement taxonomy before pursuing work under this classification.
