UNSPSC 85721833: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left metatarsal-tarsal 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 0SWL3KZ

UNSPSC 85721833 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure medical and occupational health services for employees, retirees, and beneficiaries — not orthopedic surgical products or implants as the code's nominal scope suggests. Recent opportunities under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance programs for transportation workers, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out networks for municipal employees, and temporary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies are diverse: municipal retirement boards and pension authorities (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county commissioners and human resources divisions (Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation), and city employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach). The code shows minimal alignment with its nominal product description; the recent solicitations are administrative, managed-care, and occupational-health service procurements rather than surgical-device or implant purchases.

The recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at ferry system worksites across 14 Washington locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, proposals due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows little recent activity directly matching its stated surgical-implant scope; the UNSPSC classification appears misaligned with the services actually being procured.
