UNSPSC 85721838: Revision of internal fixation device in left metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device 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 0SWL34Z

UNSPSC 85721838 Revision of internal fixation device in left metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with orthopedic device procurement. Instead, the opportunities span occupational health surveillance, disability medical record review, surgical benefit program administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve orthopedic implants or surgical devices for foot and ankle procedures. The code appears to be a classification mismatch in the state and local procurement records; no concrete evidence supports that state and local governments are currently soliciting the specific orthopedic procedure named in the code's description.

The most recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 reflect a diverse issuing-body mix including county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal procurement offices (Long Beach). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting pension disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP RFP20260825 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance at ferry operations; and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 (originally due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members. Activity is geographically dispersed across California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no concentration in a single jurisdiction or region.
