UNSPSC 85722002: Removal of synthetic substitute from left toe phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left toe 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 0SPQ3JZ

UNSPSC 85722002, Removal of synthetic substitute from left toe phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code show no medical or surgical procurement activity related to orthopedic implant removal or any other medical procedure. Instead, the code appears to have been applied in error to service procurements spanning independent medical evaluation administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical network carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve removal of synthetic orthopedic materials or percutaneous surgical procedures.

The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the opportunities posted under it suggests either a data classification error in the state or local procurement system or a temporary misapplication during solicitation setup. No recent state or local contract opportunities genuinely align with orthopedic implant removal services under this code. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC family or class code for any actual orthopedic surgical product or implant-removal service work they are pursuing with state and local buyers, as this Commodity code does not represent a meaningful market segment in current state and local procurement activity.
