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

UNSPSC 85712980 Reposition right metacarpocarpal joint, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code shows no recent purchasing activity for the named procedure. Instead, the posted opportunities span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency care for detained youth—none of which are orthopedic surgical repositioning services. The mismatch suggests either misclassification of opportunities in the posting systems or a divergence between the code's technical definition and how it is being applied in practice by state and local procurement offices.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and county-level health systems. Geographic activity spans Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026).
