UNSPSC 85721687: Fusion of right 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 right 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 0SGH05Z

UNSPSC 85721687 Fusion of right tarsal joint with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity among state and local government procurements. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington jurisdictions — spanning independent medical evaluations for pension boards, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — do not align with orthopedic surgical procedure codes or implantable device procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention with hardware, whereas the recent opportunities solicited administrative medical services, benefit program management, staffing networks, and formulary services. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that state and local governments route surgical-device procurement through different code families or direct vendor relationships outside the UNSPSC taxonomy paths reflected in recent RFP and RFQ activity.

No state or local procurement office has posted an opportunity under this code in the recent window. Firms evaluating pursuit should verify whether their surgical-device or orthopedic-hardware portfolio is being tagged correctly upstream in their target agencies' procurement systems, or whether relevant demand flows through group purchasing organizations, hospital systems' direct contracting, or federal health program carve-outs rather than open-market state and local solicitation.
