UNSPSC 85722029: Removal of external fixation device from right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from right 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 0SPM35Z

UNSPSC 85722029 Removal of external fixation device from right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its specific orthopedic surgical procedure scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve removal of external fixation devices or metatarsal-phalangeal joint procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, and surgical carve-out benefit programs. The mismatch suggests either data classification errors or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for the specific surgical intervention its name describes.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities loosely tagged to this code include state health systems and departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, County of Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county procurement offices (Collier County, Harris County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Washington, California, Florida, Texas, and Arizona. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, covering examinations across 14 ferry locations in Washington), the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026, covering approximately 75 annual disability applications), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (historical annual spend approximately $8.7 million, initial term through December 31, 2028), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026, covering 13 ancillary clinical categories). No procurement officers should expect material activity under this code's stated orthopedic surgical scope unless procurement data quality improves.
