UNSPSC 85722142: Fusion of left toe phalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left toe phalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 0SGQ3KZ

UNSPSC 85722142 Fusion of left toe phalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — does not align with recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty surgical carve-out benefit management for city employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, youth detention medical services, and emergency inpatient hospital care. None of these solicitations involve actual performance of fusion procedures on toe joints or procurement of the implants, devices, or surgical supplies such procedures require. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the underlying procurement database or a data-quality issue in how state and local offices are tagging health-care and medical-administration services.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation offices (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County), and municipal retirement and HR functions (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Activity clusters in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code shows little relevant recent activity for actual fusion-procedure procurement; readers pursuing orthopedic implant or surgical-services work should verify UNSPSC coding accuracy against specific opportunities rather than rely on this code's recent record.
