This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right toe phalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85722702 Extirpation of matter from right toe phalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with orthopedic surgery and instead reflect a mismatch between the code assignment and the work actually being solicited. The opportunities record independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefits programs — none of which involve the specific toe phalangeal joint procedure the code nominally describes. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope; the postings appear to reflect either data entry errors in the underlying procurement systems or a systematic miscoding of medical and health administration services under this narrow procedural code.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employee health systems (City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the most substantive postings from the City of Phoenix (independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, due October 16, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations, due October 9, 2026), and the City of Long Beach (Centers of Excellence carve-out for surgical procedures including knee, hip, orthopedic, spine, and oncology services, due October 7, 2026). Given the misalignment between the code's procedural title and the administrative and staffing services actually being solicited, this code warrants careful review before pursuing opportunities; bidders should verify that the actual scope of work matches their service lines rather than relying on the UNSPSC code nomenclature alone.
