UNSPSC 85713526: Fusion of left metacarpocarpal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left metacarpocarpal 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 0RGT0JZ

UNSPSC 85713526 Fusion of left metacarpocarpal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification are unrelated to orthopedic fusion surgery and instead span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care-out programs through Centers of Excellence, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The mismatch indicates that the code has been misapplied to these opportunities or does not reflect actual state and local buying patterns in this space.

The six recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. None of these solicitations target orthopedic fusion procedures or related surgical implants. Activity is geographically dispersed with no concentration in any single state, and the posting dates range from July through September 2026, suggesting moderate velocity across health services procurement broadly rather than within a focused clinical or product category.
