UNSPSC 85722153: Fusion of left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, 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 0SGN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85722153 Fusion of left metatarsal-phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The source shows no solicitations for surgical procedures, orthopedic interventions, or medical device implantation related to metatarsal-phalangeal joint fusion. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans. The mismatch suggests either a data-coding error in the state or local procurement system or that the code is being used as a catch-all classification for healthcare-related contracts without regard to its specific procedural definition.

The actual recent activity under this code reflects procurement by state departments, county health systems, and municipal employers seeking administrative and clinical support services rather than surgical products or procedures. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 at a contract value of $750,000 over five years; Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services; the County of Santa Clara Health System established a temporary health professional staffing qualified vendor pool due October 7, 2026; and the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical benefit carve-out program due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the absence of activity genuinely related to orthopedic surgical procedures, firms pursuing this code should verify the procurement system classification before investing in business development.
