UNSPSC 85721672: Fusion of right metatarsal-tarsal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right metatarsal-tarsal joint with nonautologous 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 0SGK0KZ

UNSPSC 85721672, Fusion of right metatarsal-tarsal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not match the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code. These opportunities are administrative healthcare services, benefit plan management, and personnel staffing, not surgical procedures performed on patients. State and local procurement offices do not typically solicit surgical procedures directly under CPT-aligned UNSPSC codes; they may procure hospital services, surgical center networks, or managed care arrangements under broader healthcare service codes, but surgical procedure line items are not routine state and local contract vehicles.

The mismatch between code and opportunity suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities were tagged or a structural limitation in how the source material maps clinical procedure codes to procurement activity. No recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices in the source material address fusion of the right metatarsal-tarsal joint or related orthopedic surgical procedures as standalone procurements. If pursuing state and local healthcare or surgical services business, examine higher-tier codes in the healthcare family (such as codes covering hospital services, managed care networks, or medical device supply) rather than this specific commodity-level surgical procedure code.
