This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0RNSXZZ

UNSPSC 85713046 Release right metacarpocarpal joint, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the opportunities actually being solicited—independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing—are primarily administrative, clinical support, and staffing services rather than direct surgical procedures. The issuing bodies are mixed and include county government departments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city retirement and human resources offices (Phoenix, Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single state showing concentrated recent activity under this code.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability determinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 state ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity in its stated scope; the mismatch between the orthopedic surgical procedure nomenclature and the administrative and staffing services actually being purchased suggests potential classification drift or data-entry errors in the source opportunities.
