UNSPSC 85721918: Reposition right metatarsal-tarsal joint with internal 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 internal 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 0SSK34Z

UNSPSC 85721918 Reposition right metatarsal-tarsal joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally names an orthopedic surgical procedure. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the procedure name; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical care networks. The code appears to be misapplied across a range of health and medical services procurement that bears no relationship to metatarsal-tarsal joint repositioning, suggesting either cataloging error or use of the code as a catch-all for health service categories that lack precise UNSPSC alignment.

The recent-opportunities block includes six postings across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issued by a city retirement office, municipalities, a county health system, a county juvenile probation department, a state transportation agency, and county health consortiums. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations with responses due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a non-exclusive qualified-vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories, proposals due October 7, 2026. None of these opportunities relate to orthopedic joint surgery. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the surgical procedure it nominally describes.
