UNSPSC 85712974: Reposition right metacarpophalangeal joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right 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 0RSUXZZ

UNSPSC 85712974 Reposition right metacarpophalangeal joint, external approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for public-safety disability determinations, surgical carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic joint repositioning procedures as the code name suggests. This mismatch indicates either a procurement tagging error or that the code is rarely used for its stated purpose in state and local purchasing.

The six recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across the United States: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Activity clusters in the West and Southwest, with no clear concentration. The only partially code-aligned solicitation is the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, ITB), which calls for occupational medicine examinations across 14 Washington ferry locations. All other opportunities — including the Phoenix pension board's independent medical evaluation RFP ($750,000 maximum over five years, due October 16, 2026), Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program (due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) — involve health administration, staffing procurement, or benefits design rather than surgical procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms performing orthopedic joint repositioning work.
