UNSPSC 85713961: Fusion of left metacarpocarpal joint with external fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left metacarpocarpal joint with external fixation device, 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 0RGT35Z

UNSPSC 85713961 Fusion of left metacarpocarpal joint with external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with that scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities posted under it consist of occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach), specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara), and emergency medical services procurement — none of which involve left metacarpocarpal joint procedures or implant-based orthopedic interventions. The mismatch suggests a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems sourcing these records rather than genuine demand for the procedure under this code.

The issuing bodies span county governments, state agencies, and city procurement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Given the absence of substantive opportunities aligned with the code's nominal scope, this code does not present a clear procurement signal for vendors specializing in orthopedic implants or fusion-procedure instruments and services. Practitioners should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before investing in pursuit under this classification.
