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

UNSPSC 85713006 "Repair right metacarpocarpal joint, external approach" is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not reflect the actual procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, retirement board disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with orthopedic surgical repair of a specific joint. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all or administrative classification for broad health services contracting rather than as a marker of surgical repair procedures. State and local issuers using this code include county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county commissioners' offices, with no repeat buyers evident across the recent opportunities.

The geographic spread reflects scattered activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentrated jurisdiction or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summarization and physician examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications at a five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry system locations statewide; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor pool qualification for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical ancillary categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's mismatch with its solicitation record suggests either tagging inconsistency or that this Commodity is rarely accessed through conventional state and local procurement channels for its stated purpose.
