UNSPSC 85721928: Repair right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair right 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 0SQM3ZZ

UNSPSC 85721928 Repair right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the foot, but the recent solicitations tracked under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These opportunities involve no repair of the metatarsal-phalangeal joint and do not align with the code's stated clinical scope. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the procurement system tagging or a fundamental misclassification at the source.

The issuing bodies include state health departments and transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal employers (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope, vendors should treat this code as inactive for business development purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
