UNSPSC 85722010: Removal of synthetic substitute from right 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 right 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 0SPP3JZ

UNSPSC 85722010, Removal of synthetic substitute from right toe phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code assigned to medical and surgical procedure management, yet recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with orthopedic or procedural surgery—the code's nominal scope. Instead, the five recent opportunities reflect broader healthcare service provisioning: independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefits carve-out administration through Centers of Excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing pool qualification. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or that this Commodity code serves as a catch-all taxonomy assignment for health benefit and medical service procurement that does not fit more granular procedure-specific categories. The actual work being solicited spans health plan administration, medical record management, occupational health compliance, and workforce contingency staffing rather than a specific surgical intervention.

Issuing bodies include county governments (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), cities (Phoenix Retirement Office on behalf of pension boards, Long Beach), and state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with geographic spread reflecting multi-state health-system procurement. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, response due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, response due October 7, 2026, structured as a non-exclusive multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed volume). The code shows no recent meaningful activity aligned with its stated orthopedic procedure scope.
