UNSPSC 85722131: Insertion of internal fixation device into right metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into right 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 0SHK34Z

UNSPSC 85722131 Insertion of internal fixation device into right metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for orthopedic fixation, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve insertion of internal fixation devices or metatarsal-tarsal joint surgery. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently across diverse healthcare service solicitations that fall outside its narrow procedural scope.

The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local system or a misalignment in how these opportunities were tagged. Geographic activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, independent medical evaluations RFP due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach health benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026; Santa Clara County Health System temporary staffing RFP due October 7, 2026), Washington (WSDOT occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP closed April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department medical services RFI due September 25, 2026). Issuers include municipal retirement boards, city health departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county probation departments. No opportunity in the block involves orthopedic device implantation or the musculoskeletal procedure named in the code.
