UNSPSC 85713005: Repair left metacarpocarpal joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left 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 0RQTXZZ

UNSPSC 85713005 Repair left metacarpocarpal joint, external approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code appears to describe a specific surgical procedure rather than a procurable product or service, and the recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent administrative healthcare contracting, clinical staffing, and benefits management work that do not align with orthopedic joint repair procurement.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent solicitations suggests either a classification error in how these opportunities were tagged or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for services they currently buy. No issuing bodies appear more than once in the recent-opportunity block, and the geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Firms evaluating this code should verify the UNSPSC classification with their target buyer before developing a pursuit strategy.
