UNSPSC 85722018: Removal of synthetic substitute from left metatarsal-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 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 0SPN3JZ

UNSPSC 85722018, Removal of synthetic substitute from left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities in the source—spanning independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are all health service procurement, benefits administration, or workforce augmentation activities unrelated to orthopedic surgical procedures or joint implant removal. The UNSPSC code itself is a procedure-specific clinical taxonomy entry, whereas state and local government purchasing typically tags health service contracting at broader classification levels (medical services, staffing, benefits administration) rather than at the level of individual surgical interventions.

No current state and local procurement opportunities under this code are present in the recent activity dataset. The mismatch between the code's orthopedic surgical scope and the actual health-system contracting activity in the source indicates either a classification error in how the opportunities were tagged or a category that does not drive meaningful procurement volume at the state and local level. Firms pursuing activity in this space should monitor health system RFPs for medical services, surgical networks, and specialty physician services under broader Family and Class codes rather than expect work to surface under this specific Commodity designation.
