UNSPSC 85722552: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left 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 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 0SPJ47Z

UNSPSC 85722552 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left tarsal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect the clinical procedure its name describes. Instead, the recent opportunities show substantial solicitation of occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with orthopedic surgical intervention. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch within state and local procurement systems; opportunities are being filed under a surgical-procedure commodity when the actual work involves benefits administration, medical record review, occupational medicine examinations, and healthcare vendor management. Issuing bodies include county human resources departments and consolidated health systems (Collier County Board of Commissioners, City of Long Beach, Santa Clara County Health System), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), and local juvenile justice authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). The work being solicited ranges from occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry system locations to independent disability evaluations for public safety pension boards, specialty surgical networks for municipal employees, temporary clinical staffing pools, and pharmacy benefit administration covering thousands of covered members.

Geographic activity spans California (Collier County, Long Beach, Santa Clara), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington (state-level), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration in any single jurisdiction. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) covering disability medical record summary preparation and psychiatric examination coordination for approximately 75 annual benefit applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31) across ferry system locations requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for its Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026, targeting go-live April 1, 2027); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, no guaranteed volume). The code shows material recent activity but appears systematically miscoded relative to its clinical-procedure taxonomy name.
