This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of infusion device in right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous 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 0SWM33Z

UNSPSC 85721831 Revision of infusion device in right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect actual medical device procurement or orthopedic surgery services. Instead, the solicitations show state and local agencies buying occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence networks, and specialty medical services for detained youth. The code designation appears misaligned with the work being procured, suggesting either data-entry error in the tagging system or a mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and how state and local procurement offices classify health services contracts. The actual services being purchased across these opportunities span medical record review and disability benefit evaluations, workplace occupational health surveillance across multiple sites, specialty pharmacy administration and cost containment, and flexible temporary clinical staffing across ancillary specialties.

Issuing bodies include county human resources and pension administrations (Phoenix, Collier County, Santa Clara), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation (Harris County), and city retirement offices coordinating with pension boards. Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with Santa Clara County Health System establishing a five-year qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluators at $750,000 over five years commencing February 3, 2027. The Washington State Department of Transportation—Washington State Ferries issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal locations, with responses due October 9, 2026 and apparent successful bidder announcement scheduled for October 20, 2026. The code itself shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its stated orthopedic surgical procedure scope.
