UNSPSC 85713965: Fusion of right metacarpocarpal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right 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 0RGS3JZ

UNSPSC 85713965 Fusion of right metacarpocarpal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code showing no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The six state and local opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code—including independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary health professional staffing—represent administrative healthcare services and workforce contracting rather than surgical joint fusion procedures or orthopedic implant procurement. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the solicitation database or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies are tagging healthcare-related opportunities in practice.

State and local governments do not appear to be procuring surgical joint fusion services, implants, or related clinical procedures under this code at present. The issuing bodies represented in the tagged opportunities—the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System—are seeking administrative healthcare vendors (benefits consultants, staffing firms, medical surveillance contractors, and PBM administrators) rather than surgical procedure providers or orthopedic device suppliers. No representative opportunities exist under this code that reflect its stated clinical scope.
