UNSPSC 85713533: Fusion of right metacarpocarpal 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 metacarpocarpal 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 0RGS07Z

UNSPSC 85713533 Fusion of right metacarpocarpal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this identifier. Recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code center on occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve orthopedic joint fusion procedures. The code's scope and the solicitations show a fundamental mismatch; the Commodity designation appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-assignment error rather than accurate procurement classification.

Activity under this code appears isolated. The Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries) posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026; Collier County posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026. These opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington — but they do not comprise a coherent procurement family under the stated Commodity code. Business development professionals should treat this code as unreliable for targeting state and local medical device or orthopedic procedure opportunities; the category warrants review or correction at the taxonomy level.
