UNSPSC 85722409: Reposition left metatarsal-phalangeal joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left metatarsal-phalangeal joint with internal fixation device, 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 0SSN44Z

UNSPSC 85722409 Reposition left metatarsal-phalangeal joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure code; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little to no alignment with orthopedic foot surgery and instead reflect a wide range of health administration and occupational health services procurement. The opportunities include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical carve-out benefit program administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. This mismatch suggests the code is being applied inconsistently across different jurisdictions or may have been assigned in error to health services procurement notices that do not correspond to the orthopedic procedure described in the code name.

Activity spans multiple state and local issuing bodies with no clear pattern: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for public safety pensions), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit administration), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention medical services), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response due October 16, 2026 for a maximum $750,000 five-year contract, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with responses due October 9, 2026 and apparent successful bidder announcement scheduled for October 20, 2026. Given the divergence between the code's surgical procedure nomenclature and the health services administration work actually being sourced, firms should verify code assignment in any opportunity tagged under this number before pursuing.
