UNSPSC 85722125: Insertion of spacer into left metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into left metatarsal-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 0SHL38Z

UNSPSC 85722125 Insertion of spacer into left metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity—a discrete orthopedic surgical procedure performed on a single anatomical site—does not match the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this classification.

Recent opportunities posted under this code span medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which are orthopedic surgical procedures or device insertions. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee health plans (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county benefits programs (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurements posted suggests either systematic miscoding or that this Commodity code is not in regular use for state and local contract opportunities. Business development professionals should verify coding accuracy before pursuing activity under this classification.
