UNSPSC 85721649: Fusion of right toe phalangeal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right toe phalangeal joint with synthetic substitute, open 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 0SGP0JZ

UNSPSC 85721649 Fusion of right toe phalangeal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification are not purchasing surgical implants, prosthetics, or procedural supplies for this operation. Instead, the opportunities are purchasing administrative and clinical services — disability medical evaluation coordination, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, Centers of Excellence network carve-outs for surgical procedures, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve fusion implants or the direct procurement of surgical materials for toe joint procedures.

The geographic spread of these opportunities spans Arizona, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State, Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), but the code's apparent misclassification means the activity is not decision-relevant to firms supplying orthopedic implants or procedure-specific devices. The most recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program offering Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, spine, and other specialty procedures (due October 7, 2026). Because the code does not match the services actually being solicited, this category offers no actionable procurement signal for businesses in the orthopedic implant or surgical device supply chain.
