UNSPSC 85713959: Fusion of left metacarpocarpal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left metacarpocarpal 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 0RGT3JZ

UNSPSC 85713959, Fusion of left metacarpocarpal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the state and local contract opportunities tagged with this code do not procure surgical procedures or related medical devices; instead they solicit medical evaluation, staffing, pharmacy management, and occupational health surveillance services. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being bought suggests this code is either misapplied to these opportunities or sees minimal direct procurement activity in the state and local market.

The tagged opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out administration (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty care for youth in detention (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). These solicitations originate from county human resources offices, municipal retirement boards, state transportation departments, county health systems, and juvenile justice authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. No recent state and local procurement activity appears directly aligned with orthopedic joint fusion surgery procurement or supply contracting under this code.
