UNSPSC 85713023: Removal of infusion device from right metacarpophalangeal joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from right 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 0RPUX3Z

UNSPSC 85713023, Removal of infusion device from right metacarpophalangeal joint, external approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on a specific joint, but the six recent opportunities posted under it span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical Center of Excellence carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and inpatient care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve infusion device removal or metacarpophalangeal joint procedures. The mismatch between the code's narrow clinical scope and the breadth of health services actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or that this Commodity code is not the appropriate taxonomy tier for these procurements.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and public health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System). Recent opportunities are concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No state or local procurement activity under this code appears aligned with orthopedic device removal or joint-specific surgical services, making this code an unlikely focus for business development in medical device, surgical supply, or orthopedic services contracting.
