UNSPSC 85722377: Supplement left metatarsal-tarsal 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 metatarsal-tarsal 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 0SUL4KZ

UNSPSC 85722377 Supplement left metatarsal-tarsal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, but the most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of that specific implant or surgical service. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, surgical benefits carve-out programs for municipal health plans, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these represent procurement of the joint-supplement implant or the procedural service the code nominally names.

The mismatch between the code's scope and the actual solicitations suggests either classification error in the source data or that this code is rarely used in state and local purchasing. The issuing bodies—Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System—are acquiring medical administration and staffing services across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, but not the orthopedic implant or procedure identified in the code description. No representative opportunities for the actual product or service named in UNSPSC 85722377 are present in the recent activity.
