UNSPSC 85722011 Removal of spacer from right toe phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a highly specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The code appears in public procurement primarily through medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, and health benefit administration solicitations—work that encompasses provider networks, benefits management, and clinical oversight rather than the direct performance of orthopedic procedures. State and local governments are not themselves performing joint-space procedures; instead, they are procuring administrative and clinical-support services that may indirectly relate to occupational or benefit-related medical determinations. The issuing bodies include city retirement systems (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), county health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employer benefits administrators (City of Long Beach). This code sees limited direct procurement relevance at the state and local level.

Recent activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no strong procurement momentum under its literal interpretation; bidders should verify that specific opportunities truly require the discrete procedure named rather than broader occupational medicine, benefits administration, or provider-network services.
