UNSPSC 85713532: Fusion of right metacarpocarpal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right 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 0RGS0JZ

UNSPSC 85713532 Fusion of right metacarpocarpal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect procurement of occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with orthopedic joint fusion surgery or related implants. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement databases may have miscoded these opportunities or that the code itself carries inconsistent usage at the issuing-body level.

The handful of recent opportunities show no discernible pattern toward the code's stated scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested proposals for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence networks (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County solicited pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (RFP 25-8414, deadline April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Business development professionals should treat this code as dormant for orthopedic implant or surgical procedure contracting and verify coding against actual scope before allocating pursuit resources.
