UNSPSC 85722645: Fusion of left toe phalangeal joint with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left toe phalangeal joint with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0SGQ45Z

UNSPSC 85722645 (Fusion of left toe phalangeal joint with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach) is a Commodity code for a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities show no alignment with this code's nominal scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code actually solicit health services administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical carve-out benefit programs — none of which involve orthopedic fusion or percutaneous endoscopic surgery. This appears to be a systematic classification mismatch in the source data; the code does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity in procurement records.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County, Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach). Because the code designation does not match the work being solicited, pursuing opportunities under this code requires verification against the actual RFP or IFB document rather than reliance on UNSPSC categorization. Recent posting dates range from July through September 2026, with response deadlines concentrated in October 2026, but business development professionals should flag this code as potentially unreliable for filtered procurement searches and confirm scope directly with issuing bodies before bid preparation.
