UNSPSC 85722172: Fusion of right metatarsal-tarsal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right metatarsal-tarsal 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 0SGK3KZ

UNSPSC 85722172, Fusion of right metatarsal-tarsal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code — including independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare services — address administrative medical services, staffing, and benefit management rather than the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these healthcare administration and staffing solicitations with a procedure-specific code that does not match the work actually being bought, creating a mismatch between the code's intended scope and current procurement activity.

Because the recent opportunities do not reflect genuine procurement demand for the specific surgical procedure described in the code, the activity reported here carries limited relevance for vendors targeting this Commodity code. Firms pursuing opportunities in healthcare administration, occupational health surveillance, or clinical staffing through state and local channels should monitor these issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — but should treat the code classification itself as a data-quality signal rather than a reliable procurement indicator for this procedure.
