This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right metatarsal-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 0SPM44Z

UNSPSC 85722530, Removal of internal fixation device from right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedure scope and the actual state and local buying activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal; instead, they span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations address metatarsal-phalangeal joint surgery or percutaneous endoscopic approaches. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), indicating the code is being used across multiple jurisdiction types as a catch-all or miscategorization for health-care-related procurement rather than its defined commodity scope.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, proposals due April 9, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition—a procurement professional reviewing opportunities under this Commodity code would find the posting misaligned with orthopedic surgical procedure procurement and should verify UNSPSC coding accuracy before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
