UNSPSC 85722329: Revision of external fixation device in right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0SWM45Z

UNSPSC 85722329, Revision of external fixation device in right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code. The nominal code designation does not align with actual state and local procurement activity under this code. Recent opportunities instead reflect contracting for occupational and disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out management, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which match the orthopedic device procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal and county HR and pension departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile detention systems, county health systems, and county commissioners' procurement offices. The work being solicited ranges from independent medical evaluations for public safety retirement disability determinations (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), surgical and procedural center-of-excellence networks for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), pharmacy benefit management for county employees and retirees (Collier County), temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System), and emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department).

Geographic activity centers on Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with isolated representation in Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response deadline of October 16, 2026 and a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations with a response deadline of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs with a response deadline of October 7, 2026 and anticipated contract execution in April 2027; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical spending of approximately $8.7 million annually. The code shows substantial recent activity but little relevance to orthopedic procedural devices; procurement professionals should treat this code as administratively misaligned with the actual medical services and staffing being bought.
