UNSPSC 85722506: Removal of internal fixation device 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 internal fixation device 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 0SPQ44Z

UNSPSC 85722506 Removal of internal fixation device from left toe phalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged to it. The code appears designed to classify a single orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which concern removal of internal fixation devices from toe joints. The mismatch suggests either misclassification during opportunity tagging or a fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical specificity and how state and local procurement systems are applying it to broader health service categories.

The issuing bodies represented across the recent records span state departments, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices: the Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, the City of Long Beach, the County of Santa Clara Health System, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office. Geographic activity includes Washington, Florida, Texas, California, and Arizona. The most proximate opportunity with some orthopedic relevance is the City of Long Beach's surgical carve-out RFP, posted August 26, 2026 with proposals due October 7, 2026, which includes knee, hip, orthopedic, and shoulder procedures through Centers of Excellence, though it frames these as bundled care networks rather than device-removal procedures. Given the absence of true procurement activity under the code's stated scope, this code warrants classification as inactive for current state and local opportunity development.
