UNSPSC 85722365: Supplement left toe phalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left toe phalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0SUQ4KZ

UNSPSC 85722365 Supplement left toe phalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving orthopedic implant work, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect orthopedic implant procurement. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit administration, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and temporary clinical staffing placement. The mismatch between the code's stated procedure descriptor and the actual work being solicited suggests either broad misapplication of the code in state and local procurement systems or fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how health care service procurement is classified at state and local level. The issuing bodies are predominantly local jurisdictions—cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and independent health systems. No vendor repeat across opportunities, and no vendor name or award history is disclosed in the source.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington State. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting proposals for disability medical record summary and examination coordination services, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued a Request for Proposals on July 7, 2026 to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary clinical staffing across ancillary health professions, with responses due October 7, 2026. The Long Beach and Collier County solicitations are administrative health benefits and pharmacy management services rather than direct clinical or implant procurement. The code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the present opportunities are health care administration and occupational medicine, not orthopedic joint supplementation.
