UNSPSC 85722014: Removal of internal fixation device from right toe phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device 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 0SPP34Z

UNSPSC 85722014 Removal of internal fixation device from right toe phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical-procedure classification but shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not match the health services and benefits administration work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this taxonomy entry. Recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability pension medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health plan surgical carve-outs, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involves the removal of internal fixation devices or toe-joint procedures. This mismatch suggests either systematic mis-tagging in the state and local procurement system or that the code sees negligible procurement activity aligned with its procedural definition.

The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County in Florida, Harris County in Texas, Santa Clara County in California), municipal employers (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and county health systems, reflecting diverse health-benefits procurement across administrative and operational domains. Recent opportunities cluster in the Southwest and West (Arizona, Florida, Washington, California, Texas). The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix disability pension medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) represent the most concrete recent work posted under this code, though neither involves the specific procedure named in the code's title. The absence of procurement activity genuinely aligned with toe-phalangeal joint surgery suggests this code warrants close scrutiny before resource commitment.
