UNSPSC 85721667: Fusion of left metatarsal-tarsal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left metatarsal-tarsal 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 0SGL0JZ

UNSPSC 85721667 Fusion of left metatarsal-tarsal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code describe occupational medical surveillance services, independent disability medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, and evaluation services for medical record summarization—none of which involve orthopedic surgical fusion procedures or implantable medical devices. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a systematic misalignment between the code's clinical definition and how state and local procurement offices are tagging health service solicitations.

The issuing bodies across the recent postings span county health systems (Santa Clara), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), and county benefits consortiums (Collier County). The opportunities range from pre-bid conference activity (WSDOT on August 31, 2026) to RFI responses (Harris County, September 25, 2026) to full RFPs with October 2026 response dates. Geographic activity concentrates in California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. No state or local procurement opportunity in the source actually solicits orthopedic fusion services, implants, or surgical procedures under this code's nominal scope; the code shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity.
