UNSPSC 85713521: Fusion of right metacarpophalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right metacarpophalangeal joint with autologous tissue 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 0RGU07Z

UNSPSC 85713521 Fusion of right metacarpophalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The code's nominal definition references a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not solicit surgical fusion services or related surgical supplies. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs for health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve metacarpophalangeal joint fusion or surgical implants. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual work being tagged under it suggests that this code does not serve as a meaningful procurement vehicle for state and local buyers pursuing related medical devices, surgical supplies, or orthopedic procedures.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including county health systems (Santa Clara Health System), county human resources and benefits functions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, City of Long Beach), county juvenile justice departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal pension boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office). These entities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. No repeat buyers appear across multiple solicitations, and no opportunity explicitly addresses the orthopedic surgical procedure domain that the code nominally describes.
