UNSPSC 85722132: Insertion of infusion 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 infusion 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 0SHK33Z

UNSPSC 85722132 Insertion of infusion device into right metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect the clinical procedure named in the taxonomy. Instead, the opportunities show that state and local governments are using this code to tag solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code's abstract name does not align with the scope of work actually being solicited—the opportunities are administrative and clinical staffing services rather than a specific surgical procedure on a specific joint. State and local procurement offices appear to be applying this code to a broad range of health services procurement, not to the orthopedic procedural intervention the code nominally describes.

The recent activity includes Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applications totaling up to $750,000 over five years (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requesting a surgical benefit carve-out program for its Anthem PPO plan (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); Collier County Commissioners soliciting pharmacy benefit management services with historical spending of approximately $8.7 million annually (258414, due April 9, 2026); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issuing an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Texas, with issuing bodies spanning state departments, counties, cities, and special-purpose districts. The code shows recent activity but carries a significant tagging mismatch—vendors pursuing opportunities under this number should verify that individual RFPs align with their service capabilities rather than rely on the code's nominal scope.
