UNSPSC 85722026 Removal of synthetic substitute from right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its narrow procedural scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect significant mismatch: they involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee benefits, and emergency services for youth in custody — none of which align with the specific orthopedic surgical procedure the code describes. State and local procurement solicitations appear to use this code primarily for health services administration, benefit management, and staffing rather than for the targeted joint-replacement procedure or similar orthopedic interventions.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include county and municipal retirement offices (Phoenix), county human resources and procurement divisions (Collier County), county health systems (Santa Clara), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and municipal employers (Long Beach). Geographic spread includes Arizona, Florida, California, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for 75 annual public safety pension applications, and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The code does not appear to drive procurement activity in its stated procedural domain and may reflect data-entry error or over-broad tagging at the posting agency level rather than genuine demand for joint-replacement removal procedures.
