UNSPSC 85713545: Fusion of right carpal 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 carpal 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 0RGQ07Z

UNSPSC 85713545, Fusion of right carpal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with that clinical scope. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve fusion procedures or tissue substitutes. The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either inconsistent code tagging in the source system or that the code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for medical procedure contracting.

The geographic distribution of the six opportunities spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in a particular state. Issuing bodies include city retirement systems, city HR departments, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, county health care consortiums, and county health systems. Given the absence of solicitations that actually match the procedural surgical code, this code does not represent a viable procurement pursuit for firms offering carpal fusion services or related orthopedic procedure capabilities. Practitioners should verify whether a more clinically specific or procedurally accurate code applies to their service offerings.
