UNSPSC 85713954: Fusion of right 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 right 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 0RGU37Z

UNSPSC 85713954 (Fusion of right metacarpophalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure on the hand; however, the recent state and local solicitations posted under this code do not match that clinical scope and instead reflect procurement of occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, surgical Center of Excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing services. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in how opportunities were tagged to the code or a fundamental misalignment between the code's clinical specificity and its actual use in state and local procurement systems.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse jurisdictions—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. None of these solicitations directly procure the hand surgery procedure the code nominally describes. Given this disconnect, the code does not appear to be an active or reliable category for business development targeting state and local government procurement.
