UNSPSC 85721917: Reposition right metatarsal-tarsal joint with external fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right metatarsal-tarsal joint with external fixation device, 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 0SSK35Z

UNSPSC 85721917 Reposition right metatarsal-tarsal joint with external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, Centers of Excellence surgery carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing across clinical specialties. None of these solicitations involve actual orthopedic joint repositioning or external fixation devices. The mismatch suggests either tagging error by issuing bodies or a broader administrative classification that does not align with the procedure code's clinical definition.

No state and local government has solicited procurement of this specific orthopedic procedure or related surgical instrumentation under UNSPSC 85721917 in the recent-opportunities record. The issuing bodies named in the source—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are procuring health services administration, staffing, and managed care services, not surgical devices or procedures. Geographic representation spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, but the opportunities are not aligned with the code's stated commodity scope.
