UNSPSC 85721669: Fusion of left metatarsal-tarsal joint with external fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left metatarsal-tarsal joint with external fixation device, 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 0SGL05Z

UNSPSC 85721669 Fusion of left metatarsal-tarsal joint with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities show no solicitations aligned with this clinical intervention. The six posted opportunities between July and September 2026 solicit independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve metatarsal-tarsal fusion or external fixation devices. The code appears to be a tagging mismatch and shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The issuing bodies posting unrelated opportunities include a city retirement office (Phoenix), two municipalities (Long Beach and a Washington state department), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Without recent opportunities aligned to the code's actual scope, procurement activity under this code cannot be characterized by representative examples, issuing-body concentration, or meaningful geographic distribution.
