UNSPSC 85712917: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left metacarpophalangeal joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left metacarpophalangeal joint, external 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 0RWVXKZ

UNSPSC 85712917 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left metacarpophalangeal joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical-procedure designation and the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this code. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing—none of which involve tissue replacement procedures. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal employee health programs, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, county health consortiums, and county health systems. This mismatch suggests either tagging error in the underlying procurement database or that the code has been repurposed to capture a broader family of health services administration and staffing rather than the specific orthopedic surgical procedure its name describes.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out administration (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) targeting Centers of Excellence networks; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a qualification solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), and Collier County posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending around $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414, originally closed April 9, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity relative to its stated scope.
