UNSPSC 85721880: Supplement right metatarsal-tarsal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right metatarsal-tarsal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0SUK3KZ

UNSPSC 85721880 Supplement right metatarsal-tarsal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it shows little alignment with that clinical description. The six recent opportunities in the block span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic joint supplementation or tissue substitutes. The issuing bodies include cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and independent health systems. The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) at a maximum compensation of $750,000 over five years, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid scheduled August 31, 2026).

The mismatch between the code's orthopedic procedure title and the actual procurement activity suggests either systematic mistagging in source systems or that this particular code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for state and local buyers at present. The opportunities reflect purchasing of healthcare administrative services, workforce health programs, and medical staffing — activities that fall outside the code's stated clinical scope. Firms evaluating this code should treat recent activity as a signal of limited relevance to orthopedic implant supply or surgical services under the code's nominal definition.
