This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right metatarsal-tarsal joint with synthetic 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 0SUK4JZ

UNSPSC 85722381 Supplement right metatarsal-tarsal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently posted under it. The six recent opportunities in the source block span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational health surveillance for ferry system workers, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involves orthopedic joint supplementation or surgical implants. The mismatch suggests either a taxonomic miscoding in the state and local procurement systems that posted these opportunities or a drift in how the code is being applied in practice. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county health systems and commissioners (Collier County, Santa Clara County), reflecting a mix of municipal, county, and state administrative and health-care buyers.

Geographic spread across the recent opportunities covers Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation and Ferries), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) with pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work. Because the code's nominal scope (orthopedic implant procedures) bears no clear relation to the recent solicitations, pursuit decisions should treat this code as showing minimal relevant current activity.
