UNSPSC 85721927: Repair left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left metatarsal-phalangeal 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 0SQN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85721927 Repair left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a systematic mismatch between its nominal clinical descriptor and the actual scope of state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not solicit orthopedic surgical repair services; instead, they capture medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefits administration. The code appears to be a data classification error within the state and local procurement systems that posted these solicitations, and does not reflect legitimate purchasing of metatarsal-phalangeal joint repair procedures at the state and local level. State and local governments do not routinely purchase specific surgical procedures as discrete line items; they procure medical staff, benefit administration services, health plan management, and facility-based clinical networks instead.

No recent state and local contract opportunities reflect the actual scope that UNSPSC 85721927 nominally describes. The six opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), surgical procedure carve-out networks (City of Long Beach, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), emergency and specialty care for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code does not support procurement at the commodity level for orthopedic surgical procedures and should not be relied on for business development purposes in this category.
