UNSPSC 85713953: Fusion of right metacarpophalangeal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right metacarpophalangeal joint with synthetic 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 0RGU3JZ

UNSPSC 85713953, "Fusion of right metacarpophalangeal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach," is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six recent state and local opportunities posted under or near this code between July and September 2026 uniformly solicit healthcare administrative, staffing, and benefit-management services—medical record summarization, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical benefit carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve procurement of the joint-fusion procedure itself or related implantable devices.

The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual purchasing activity suggests either miscoding in the source data or that this particular procedure code does not align with how state and local healthcare systems tag their operational solicitations. State and local buyers soliciting under this code are issuing RFPs and RFIs for administrative health services contracts with issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Without evidence that state and local governments are purchasing orthopedic implants, surgical procedures, or related medical devices under this code, the Commodity shows limited pursuit potential for vendors in those categories.
