UNSPSC 85722019 Removal of spacer from left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal surgical-procedure scope. The six most-recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent disability medical evaluations (Phoenix retirement boards), surgical benefit carve-outs and Centers of Excellence networks (Long Beach), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County). None of these solicitations involve orthopedic joint procedures, spacer removal, or percutaneous surgical approaches. The code appears to have been applied by multiple issuing bodies as a catch-all tag for healthcare service procurement rather than as a specific identifier of the orthopedic procedure named in the code's definition.

Issuing bodies are a mix of state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and public health systems. Geographic concentration spans California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington State, and Texas (Harris County). The recent opportunities range from $750,000 over five years (Phoenix disability evaluations) through estimated annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (Collier County) to multi-year staffing pools with no guaranteed volume (Santa Clara County). Because the code's definition does not match the work actually being solicited, it does not represent a viable opportunity category for firms pursuing state and local orthopedic or surgical procedure services.
