UNSPSC 85713117: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left metacarpophalangeal joint, open 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 0RWV0KZ

UNSPSC 85713117, Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows no substantive alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure involving synthetic joint material—does not match the kinds of work appearing in the solicitations tagged to it. Recent opportunities under this code span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent disability medical evaluations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-outs (City of Long Beach), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), emergency and specialty care for detained youth (Harris County), and temporary clinical staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). These solicitations procure health services administration, clinical staffing, and population health programs, not the joint-revision procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies span state health and transportation departments, county human resources and health systems divisions, and municipal retirement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The geographic spread reflects dispersed, unrelated procurement activity rather than coherent demand under the code's stated scope. No recent opportunities show purchasing of orthopedic devices, implants, or surgical procedure packages matching the code's definition. The code appears to be a cataloging anomaly; state and local procurement professionals should verify code alignment directly with issuing authorities before pursuing opportunities tagged under this Commodity.
