This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in right metacarpocarpal 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 0RWSXJZ

UNSPSC 85712942 Revision of synthetic substitute in right metacarpocarpal joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with recent state and local contract opportunities. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on a specific joint, yet the six recent opportunities in the source span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve joint replacement surgery or orthopedic procedures on the metacarpocarpal joint specifically. The mismatch suggests this code was assigned to opportunities in error or that the procurement system applied a procedure code to broader healthcare service categories where it does not map to the actual work being bought.

The recent opportunities do show activity across diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Activity appears distributed across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas with no geographic concentration. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being solicited, state and local procurement professionals should treat this code as inactive or mislabeled for business development purposes and verify the correct codes under which healthcare and occupational medical services are actually being bought.
