UNSPSC 85721681: Fusion of left 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 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 0SGJ05Z

UNSPSC 85721681 Fusion of left tarsal joint with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the six state and local solicitations posted between July and September 2026 and tagged with this code solicit medical services administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations—none of which involve tarsal joint fusion surgery or the use of external fixation devices. The mismatch reflects a classification error at the source rather than a working market for this commodity under the UNSPSC taxonomy.

The opportunities do reveal fragmented demand across multiple issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System—spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. However, because these solicitations do not align with the code's nominal scope, no representative opportunities for UNSPSC 85721681 can be meaningfully extracted. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for current state and local procurement purposes and verify code assignment in any RFP or RFQ notice received before responding.
