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 nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with orthopedic repair services; instead, they reflect healthcare administration and delivery services spanning inmate medical and pharmacy care, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and emergency medical services medical direction. The code appears to be misclassified or mistagged in state and local procurement systems, and the actual buying activity under this code label does not correspond to its stated scope.

The opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—county government (Muscogee County, Collier County, Monroe County, Santa Monica Fire Department) and county behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County)—across Florida, Georgia, and California. Representative recent solicitations include Muscogee County's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison due May 15, 2026 (current monthly cost $95,537.71); Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members, due April 9, 2026 (historical annual pharmacy spending approximately $8.7 million); and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members, proposals due April 16, 2026. Given the categorical mismatch between the code's stated surgical scope and the healthcare administration and delivery services actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms specializing in orthopedic repair.
