This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage 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 0RPSX0Z

UNSPSC 85713032 Removal of drainage device from right metacarpocarpal joint, external approach is a Commodity code with significant misalignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows little relevant recent activity; state and local opportunities tagged under this orthopedic surgical procedure code instead reflect demand for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty medical staffing, and emergency care for youth in custody. These opportunities center on health program administration, occupational health compliance, and medical service coordination rather than surgical intervention on a specific joint.

Recent solicitations span multiple issuing bodies and geographies with no meaningful concentration. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026) supporting disability pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide (proposals due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (proposals due October 7, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners requested pharmacy benefit management services (proposals due April 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories (proposals due October 7, 2026); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (responses due September 25, 2026). The code does not appear to track surgical procedure procurement meaningfully; business development activity in this category should focus on opportunities in occupational health, disability medical administration, and health benefits management rather than treating the code as a reliable signal for orthopedic surgical work.
