UNSPSC 85722174: Fusion of right 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 right 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 0SGK37Z

UNSPSC 85722174 Fusion of right metatarsal-tarsal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code over the past three months encompass independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs for government employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic fusion procedures or surgery themselves. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth of administrative healthcare services tagged to it suggests either systematic miscoding or that the code has been repurposed to capture state and local health and medical administration procurement broadly. State and local buyers include county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County), county criminal-justice agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation), city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health plans (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and regional pension boards. No single issuing body appears in multiple recent solicitations.

Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with one multi-state opportunity from Washington State Ferries serving fourteen locations across Puget Sound. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public-safety pension disability applications, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program administered through Centers of Excellence for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees, due October 7, 2026, with an anticipated contract start of April 1, 2027; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across fourteen ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, with a two-year initial term and optional five-year extensions. The code does not reflect a coherent procurement market in orthopedic or procedural surgery services at the state and local level.
