UNSPSC 85721668: Fusion of left metatarsal-tarsal joint with autologous tissue 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 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 0SGL07Z

UNSPSC 85721668 Fusion of left metatarsal-tarsal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with that scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic joint fusion procedures; instead, they reflect a broader pattern of health services procurement spanning medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit programs, and temporary health professional staffing. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of health services categories within state and local procurement systems or that the code name does not reflect how jurisdictions are actually using the taxonomy for procurement classification.

The issuing bodies in the recent record include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), a county health system (Santa Clara County Health System), county government procurement offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and city retirement and benefits offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum compensation $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, and surgical services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code shows recent activity but does not reflect its stated surgical procedure scope.
