UNSPSC 85722559: Removal of spacer from right tarsal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer from right 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 0SPH48Z

UNSPSC 85722559 Removal of spacer from right tarsal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical-procedure scope and recent state and local contract activity. The code's title references a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve tarsal-joint spacer removal. This mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification of opportunities at the source or that the code is not being actively used for its stated clinical purpose in current state and local procurement.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block include city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county government (Harris County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. The single most proximate opportunity to the code's stated scope is the City of Long Beach RFP for surgery benefits covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, and related procedures through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), though this is a managed-care procurement rather than a direct surgical-procedure buy. The Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) are administrative medical services, not surgical intervention. No recent opportunities directly solicit tarsal-joint procedure services or related surgical supplies.
