UNSPSC 85713952: Fusion of right metacarpophalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right metacarpophalangeal joint with nonautologous 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 0RGU3KZ

UNSPSC 85713952 Fusion of right metacarpophalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code, however, do not involve orthopedic joint fusion surgery or any surgical procedures matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect occupational health services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical carve-out benefit programs — none of which are surgical procedures themselves. The code shows a significant mismatch between its stated clinical descriptor and the work actually being solicited by state and local buyers under this tag.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Given the consistent mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the administrative and occupational health services actually being procured, this code does not appear to represent a reliable signal for pursuing surgical procedure contracts with state and local entities.
