UNSPSC 85722186: Fusion of right 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 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 0SGH37Z

UNSPSC 85722186, Fusion of right tarsal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no direct alignment with recent state and local contract opportunities. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — fusion of the tarsal joint using autologous tissue — yet the six recent solicitations in the dataset involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefit programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities procure or specify the named tarsal joint fusion procedure or orthopedic surgical services generally. The mismatch suggests either misclassification of opportunities within state and local procurement systems or minimal real-world activity under this specific code. State and local governments do not typically purchase individual surgical procedures as line items; they contract for medical services networks, staffing, benefit management, or facility-based care delivery instead.

The recent opportunities show activity concentrated among large municipal systems and county health entities in California, Florida, Washington, Arizona, and Texas — the Phoenix Retirement Office and Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards (Arizona); City of Long Beach (California); Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida); and County of Santa Clara Health System (California) — but none target the tarsal fusion commodity directly. Vendors pursuing this UNSPSC code should verify whether state and local purchasing offices are actually using it for procurement activity or whether opportunities are systematically mistagged; the current dataset does not support material pursuit under this code.
