UNSPSC 85722705: Extirpation of matter from left metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0SCL4ZZ

UNSPSC 85722705 Extirpation of matter from left metatarsal-tarsal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit for that procedure or related surgical services. Instead, the opportunities cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension-board disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, Centers of Excellence carve-out networks for surgery benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which constitute the narrow procedural service the code names.

The geographic and issuing-body activity across these opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Washington State (Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries). Recent notices include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows material misclassification within the state and local procurement system and does not signal genuine demand for the surgical procedure it nominates.
