UNSPSC 85722642: Fusion of left toe phalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left toe phalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0SGQ4KZ

UNSPSC 85722642 Fusion of left toe phalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under this code's nominal scope. The six most-recent state and local contract opportunities tagged with this code do not involve orthopedic fusion procedures, joint implants, or surgical technique codes. Instead, they capture administrative medical services (independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations), occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which map to the specific orthopedic surgical procedure the code purports to describe. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in the state and local procurement system or use of this code as a catch-all placeholder for health-services categories that procurement offices have not reclassified.

The opportunities actually posted under this code involve issuing bodies in Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RTMRFP26001, RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 total maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP20260825, occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (HR26753, surgical benefit carve-out for Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP 25-8414, pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (071626BNM, specialty and emergency medical services RFI, due September 25, 2026) represent the recent posting activity. Given the code's orthopedic-surgical specificity and the absence of related recent opportunities, this code warrants skipping unless your firm is pursuing general health-services contracting under misclassified UNSPSC assignments.
