UNSPSC 85722223: Drainage of right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right metatarsal-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 0S9M3ZZ

UNSPSC 85722223 Drainage of right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — percutaneous drainage of a foot joint — yet the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgical procedures or foot-joint interventions. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the state and local procurement system or that this code does not reflect current buying patterns in the jurisdictions issuing these opportunities.

The issuing bodies in the recent block include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), and cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (a disability benefits support contract); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Bidders evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for procurement purposes and investigate the actual codes under which these health-services and medical-staffing opportunities are being tagged by the issuing bodies.
