UNSPSC 85713147: Revision of infusion device in right metacarpocarpal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of infusion device in right metacarpocarpal 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 0RWS03Z

UNSPSC 85713147 Revision of infusion device in right metacarpocarpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation), independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these opportunities involve the procurement or revision of orthopedic infusion devices.

This code appears to be a data-classification mismatch within the state and local procurement system. Orthopedic device procurement and surgical procedure codes do not typically generate the high volume of opportunities that health service administration, staffing, and benefits management solicitations do. Business development professionals should verify whether opportunities genuinely requiring orthopedic implant devices and related surgical services are being posted under different UNSPSC classifications in the jurisdictions they target, or whether this code remains inactive for state and local purposes.
