This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left metatarsal-phalangeal joint with external fixation device, 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 0SGN35Z

UNSPSC 85722157 Fusion of left metatarsal-phalangeal joint with external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with actual state and local procurement activity under this code. Recent opportunities solicited under this code span independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefit programs, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic fusion procedures or medical devices. The code shows little relevant recent activity in orthopedic device procurement or fusion-procedure contracting. The mismatch between the code's stated scope (a specific surgical procedure with external fixation) and the diverse health services and benefits administration work actually posted under it suggests this code may be incorrectly applied in state and local procurement systems or that the code's definition and recent usage have diverged significantly.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city HR departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile detention authorities (Harris County), county human resources and benefits divisions (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance (proposals due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code's actual procurement activity bears no clear connection to its defined orthopedic procedure scope.
