UNSPSC 85722503: Removal of spacer 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 spacer 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 0SPQ48Z

UNSPSC 85722503 Removal of spacer from left toe phalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its medical procedure nomenclature. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs, emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic joint surgery or procedural codes specific to phalangeal joint treatment. The code's clinical specificity does not align with the scope of actual procurement activity being solicited by state and local bodies at present.

The geographic spread of the tagged opportunities spans Washington State (occupational medical surveillance through Washington State Ferries), Arizona (Phoenix pension disability evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical benefit programs and Santa Clara County temporary staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County juvenile detention medical services). However, the mismatch between the code's orthopedic surgical focus and the health-services-administration and clinical-staffing work actually being procured indicates the code has not generated material procurement demand under its stated scope. Buyers in the recent-opportunities dataset are sourcing occupational medicine, benefits administration, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency care — none of which correspond to elective joint surgery procedures or the operative specialties that would purchase removal-of-spacer services.
