UNSPSC 85722501: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left toe phalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left toe 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 0SPQ4KZ

UNSPSC 85722501, Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left toe phalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's narrow clinical scope—describing a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the medical services and staffing opportunities recently solicited by state and local bodies. Recent opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefits carve-outs, and emergency youth detention healthcare—none of which constitute procurement of the specific procedural service the code names. The mismatch suggests either tagging error or classification drift in source systems; the code appears inactive for state and local contract procurement as typically understood.

The recent opportunities themselves span multiple issuing bodies including Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—predominantly counties, cities, and special-purpose districts—across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. None of these solicitations target the procedural implant removal or orthopedic surgical service that UNSPSC 85722501 nominally describes, making the code an unreliable signal for business development in orthopedic device or procedure-specific procurement.
