This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage 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 0SPM40Z

UNSPSC 85722532, Removal of drainage device from right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code pursue independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out benefits for public employees and retirees—none of which align with the specific orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code. The code shows a systemic mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement activity.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span diverse state and local jurisdictions: a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County, Collier County), and a city benefits administrator (City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits with proposals due October 7, 2026 and contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027; and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing in multiple clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. Activity is concentrated in California and Washington, with secondary activity in Arizona and Texas. The code's recent posting frequency and issuing-body diversity suggest misclassification rather than genuine procurement volume; vendors evaluating this code should verify fit against the specific health services being solicited rather than relying on the code's nominal description.
