UNSPSC 85713514: Fusion of left metacarpophalangeal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left metacarpophalangeal joint with synthetic substitute, open 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 0RGV0JZ

UNSPSC 85713514 Fusion of left metacarpophalangeal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to map a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect surgical-procedure coding or delivery. Instead, the solicitations span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a particular hand-joint fusion surgery. The mismatch between code name and actual procurement activity suggests this code carries little relevant current activity for vendors seeking surgical-procedure opportunities in state and local government.

The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). No single issuing body repeats, and the geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, seeking physician-led examinations across 14 ferry terminals on a two-year term with five one-year renewal options; the City of Phoenix disability medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026, for $750,000 over five years to summarize medical records and coordinate examinations for public safety pension disability determinations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive qualified vendor pool RFSQ due October 7, 2026, for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories with no guaranteed volume. The code does not support meaningful pursuit for vendors with surgical-procedure expertise; the recent activity reflects administrative health services, occupational medicine, and staffing rather than operative orthopedic work.
