UNSPSC 85722201: Extirpation of matter from left toe phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left toe 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 0SCQ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85722201 Extirpation of matter from left toe phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that carries a procedural medical-code designation, but recent state and local procurement activity under this tag does not align with orthopedic surgery or any procedural intervention. The code shows a classification mismatch between its nominal taxonomy name and the work actually being solicited by public bodies. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational health surveillance, pension-disability medical evaluations, public-sector pharmacy benefit management, temporary health-professional staffing pools, and surgical benefit program administration for employee health plans — none of which involve joint procedures or operative care at the commodity level.

The issuing-body mix reflects broad public-sector health administration: state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems and human resources divisions (Collier County Board of Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county juvenile detention authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities span Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services for public safety pension boards (proposals due October 16, 2026), and the Santa Clara County Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health-professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code does not reflect a coherent procurement category and warrants review for potential taxonomy reassignment by the using jurisdiction.
