UNSPSC 85722626: Insertion of external fixation device into left metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into 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 0SHL45Z

UNSPSC 85722626 (Insertion of external fixation device into left metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal orthopedic surgical scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect specific device procurement or orthopedic surgical procedures. Instead, the state and local market under this code's designation encompasses occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's stated medical device or surgical procedure description. This disconnect suggests either a tagging error in the source opportunities or that the code is used inconsistently across state and local procurement systems for medical services unrelated to external fixation device insertion.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, County of Santa Clara), a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), and a municipal health system (City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response deadline of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. The code's actual procurement signal appears weak relative to its nominal scope, warranting verification of coding accuracy before pursuing opportunities under this designation.
