UNSPSC 85713531: Fusion of right metacarpocarpal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right metacarpocarpal joint with nonautologous 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 0RGS0KZ

UNSPSC 85713531 Fusion of right metacarpocarpal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged under this classification do not reflect orthopedic joint fusion work; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data error in code assignment or that this particular procedure code is not actively used in state and local procurement classification systems.

No state and local government opportunities for joint fusion procedures appear in the recent activity block. The six recent solicitations identified under this code cover administrative and employee benefit services rather than surgical interventions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking disability medical record summary and independent medical examination services; the City of Long Beach is requesting surgical benefit carve-out program administration for Centers of Excellence; Washington State Department of Transportation is procuring occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is contracting for pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing including audiology, imaging, therapy, and surgical support roles. Across these opportunities, no orthopedic surgery, implant supply, or procedural services appear. If this code is intended to capture surgical procedure availability to public bodies, current state and local procurement practice does not reflect that usage.
