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 0PSQXZZ

UNSPSC 85694535, Reposition left metacarpal, external approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under this tag. The recent opportunities posted against this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical procedure carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which align with orthopedic surgical repositioning of a metacarpal bone. The code appears to be a miscategorization artifact rather than an active procurement category.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System), county government human resources and benefits functions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and county juvenile justice departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The absence of genuine metacarpal repositioning procurement under this code suggests either systematic miscoding or no current state and local market activity in that specific orthopedic service line.
