UNSPSC 85722168: Fusion of left metatarsal-tarsal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left metatarsal-tarsal joint with autologous 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 0SGL37Z

UNSPSC 85722168 Fusion of left metatarsal-tarsal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title references a specific surgical procedure; the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, detention facility healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations target orthopedic joint fusion procedures, implants, or related surgical supplies. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how the opportunities were tagged or a fundamental misuse of the code for healthcare administration and staffing services that fall outside the commodity's actual scope.

State and local issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged to this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health authorities (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out program management with proposals due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026. This code exhibits little relevant recent procurement activity for the orthopedic surgical procedure it nominally describes.
