UNSPSC 85722660: Fusion of right metatarsal-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 right metatarsal-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 0SGM4KZ

UNSPSC 85722660 Fusion of right metatarsal-phalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code's technical medical description—a specific surgical procedure code derived from clinical taxonomy—appears misaligned with what state and local governments are actually soliciting. The recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic joint fusion procedures or surgical implants. This classification mismatch suggests either a data entry error in the tagging system or an overly broad application of a clinical procedure code to administrative health services procurement.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code in recent months include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluations, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical benefit carve-out administration, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System (RFQ for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Because the code's nominal scope does not reflect the actual solicitation content, business development professionals should verify whether opportunities are being misclassified or whether the code itself requires recalibration before committing pursuit resources to this category.
