UNSPSC 85721659: Fusion of right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, 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 0SGM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85721659 Fusion of right metatarsal-phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedure title and the state and local contract opportunities currently solicited under it. The recent opportunities in the source dataset are not orthopedic surgical procedures but rather occupational medical surveillance, employee disability benefit evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgery carve-out networks, and youth detention emergency and specialty medical services — none of which involve metatarsal-phalangeal joint fusion. This classification inconsistency suggests the code is either misapplied in the state and local procurement system or the tagging reflects an administrative error rather than actual demand for the specific surgical procedure named in the code.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city procurement bureaus (City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at 14 ferry locations statewide (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence networks (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System's multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Geographic concentration spans California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Because the code's nominal scope does not align with the contract activity actually being procured, the code should be regarded as showing little relevant recent activity for the specific procedure it names.
