UNSPSC 85713031: Removal of infusion device from right metacarpocarpal joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from 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 0RPSX3Z

UNSPSC 85713031 Removal of infusion device from right metacarpocarpal joint, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contracting activity tagged under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six opportunities posted since July 2026 solicit disability medical evaluations, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve infusion device removal from metacarpocarpal joints. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the posting jurisdictions or an UNSPSC classification gap that does not reflect current state and local procurement practice in this category.

The issuing bodies include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice system (Harris County), a county health benefits consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). No pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration is evident from this limited recent activity. Given the persistent disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, the code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing opportunities in infusion device removal or related orthopedic surgical services. Prospective vendors should verify UNSPSC classification at RFP submission or pre-bid to avoid pursuing misclassified opportunities.
