UNSPSC 85713948: Fusion of left metacarpophalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left metacarpophalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 0RGV37Z

UNSPSC 85713948 Fusion of left metacarpophalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The code shows little relevant procurement activity; the six recent opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 are for independent medical evaluation services (Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out administration (Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), specialty emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations concern fusion procedures, joint reconstruction, or orthopedic implants or devices.

The mismatch suggests a tagging or classification error in the underlying procurement system rather than genuine market activity for this specific procedure code. State and local governments do procure occupational health services, employee health benefits administration, and temporary clinical staffing through RFPs and RFQs, but those activities fall outside orthopedic surgical procedure coding. Pursuit decisions under this code should account for the absence of substantive recent opportunities aligned with its stated scope. Firms tracking actual state and local demand for orthopedic surgical services, implants, or post-operative care management should cross-reference other UNSPSC codes or procurement channels rather than rely on this code's current activity signals.
