UNSPSC 85722058: Removal of synthetic substitute from right tarsal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right tarsal 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 0SPH3JZ

UNSPSC 85722058 Removal of synthetic substitute from right tarsal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve tarsal joint procedures or surgical intervention. This mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to broader healthcare service solicitations.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span state departments, county governments, and health systems: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), the City of Phoenix (pension disability evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit programs), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency medical services), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, Florida, and Washington, with no geographic clustering around orthopedic or podiatric surgery. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.
