UNSPSC 85712924: Revision of drainage device in left metacarpophalangeal joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of drainage device 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 0RWVX0Z

UNSPSC 85712924 Revision of drainage device in left metacarpophalangeal joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on a specific hand joint, yet the recent solicitation activity tagged under this code addresses occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical care-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve revision of a drainage device in a metacarpophalangeal joint. The issuing bodies span state departments, county health systems, county procurement offices, and city retirement boards across multiple states and regions, but none of the work being solicited is orthopedic or hand-surgery specific.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (valued at $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system workers due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's vendor-pool qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code as currently tagged does not represent a meaningful procurement category for pursuing state and local contracts; the mismatch between the code definition and the actual solicitation scope suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging system or obsolescence of the code's application.
