UNSPSC 85722536: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from left metatarsal-tarsal 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 0SPL47Z

UNSPSC 85722536 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve tissue removal or procedural orthopedic services. The mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied to these opportunities or carries a broader institutional meaning in certain state and local systems that diverges sharply from its nominal clinical descriptor. Issuers include state transportation departments, county health systems, county probation departments, and municipal pension boards—a mix of administrative, occupational health, and public safety organizations rather than surgical providers.

Recent opportunities span Washington State (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations), Arizona (Phoenix pension board disability evaluations), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County health system staffing and benefits), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County juvenile detention medical services). Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, 14 locations, board-certified occupational physicians required) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years, disability benefit determination focus). No opportunities in the source show actual procurement of orthopedic surgical procedures or autologous tissue substitutes, and the code warrants close scrutiny before pursuit—it may reflect a data-tagging error or an institutional classification system unrelated to the code's surgical intent.
