UNSPSC 85713019: Removal of infusion device from left metacarpophalangeal joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from left 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 0RPVX3Z

UNSPSC 85713019 Removal of infusion device from left metacarpophalangeal joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical procedural scope. The code's title describes a specific orthopedic surgical intervention, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve infusion device removal or metacarpophalangeal joint procedures. This systematic mismatch between the code's procedural specification and the actual work being solicited suggests either tagging error across multiple jurisdictions or that the code is being applied as a catch-all health services classifier rather than a procedure-specific procurement vehicle.

The issuing bodies reflect a broad cross-section of state and local healthcare administration: the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Recent solicitations include occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (WSDOT RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services for public safety retirees in Arizona (City of Phoenix RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), surgical procedure carve-out benefits management for municipal employees in California (City of Long Beach HR26753, due October 7, 2026), pharmacy benefit management for county employees and retirees in Florida (Collier County RFP 25-8414), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple specialties for a California health system (County of Santa Clara RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code does not reliably signal procurement activity in any specific clinical or procedural domain and does not appear to be a productive targeting vector for business development under its stated scope.
