UNSPSC 85721662: Fusion of right metatarsal-phalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right metatarsal-phalangeal joint with autologous tissue 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 0SGM07Z

UNSPSC 85721662 Fusion of right metatarsal-phalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but state and local governments show no relevant recent procurement activity aligned with this code's clinical scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code—including independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—represent healthcare administrative, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing services that do not correspond to orthopedic joint fusion procedures or operative surgical services.

The mismatch between the code's surgical procedure title and the healthcare administration and occupational medicine work actually being solicited by state and local agencies suggests either a classification error in the source data or a fundamental disconnect between this Commodity code's intended scope and current procurement practice. State and local government buyers active in this dataset—the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System—are contracting for healthcare plan management, medical record review, occupational health programs, and clinical staffing pools rather than surgical procedures themselves. No opportunities in the source reflect direct procurement of orthopedic surgical services, implant supply, or operative care delivery under this code's nominal definition.
