UNSPSC 85722237: Destruction of left metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0S5L3ZZ

UNSPSC 85722237 Destruction of left metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on a specific anatomical structure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic or podiatric surgical services. Instead, the tagged opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations address healthcare administration, occupational health compliance, medical staffing placement, and pharmacy program management—none of which align with the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or the code's assignment to opportunities that do not reflect its stated scope.

No recent state and local opportunities are genuinely soliciting destruction of metatarsal-tarsal joint procedures or related podiatric surgical services. The code does not show meaningful procurement activity in the health professional staffing, medical evaluation, or occupational medicine categories that have been tagged under it.
