UNSPSC 85722675: Fusion of right metatarsal-tarsal 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 right metatarsal-tarsal 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 0SGK45Z

UNSPSC 85722675 Fusion of right metatarsal-tarsal joint with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it instead solicit occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty medical services for youth in detention — none of which constitute metatarsal-tarsal fusion procedures or align with the code's clinical scope.

The mismatch between the code's name and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data-entry error in tagging or a fundamental misalignment in how this code is deployed in state and local procurement systems. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code for any orthopedic surgery services before pursuing opportunities in this category, as the current code does not reflect actual procurement of the procedure it nominally describes.
