UNSPSC 85721881: Supplement right metatarsal-tarsal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right metatarsal-tarsal joint with synthetic 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 0SUK3JZ

UNSPSC 85721881 Supplement right metatarsal-tarsal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 — spanning independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — represent procurement of administrative healthcare services, benefits program management, and clinical staffing networks rather than orthopedic implant procedures or surgical interventions on the foot and ankle. The code's nominal specification describes a specific surgical procedure and implant type, which does not match the administrative and staffing services actually being solicited by state and local issuing bodies under this code designation.

The mismatch between the code's procedural-surgical framing and the administrative-services and staffing work appearing in recent solicitations suggests this code either receives minimal direct use for state and local procurement of actual orthopedic implants and surgical services, or the opportunities available through state and local channels are being tagged with this code erroneously by issuing bodies. Pursuing activity under UNSPSC 85721881 based on these records would not yield relevant leads for vendors supplying surgical implants, orthopedic devices, or foot-and-ankle surgical services to state and local healthcare systems or facilities.
