UNSPSC 85713218: Reposition right metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right 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 0RSU0ZZ

UNSPSC 85713218 Reposition right metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities actually solicited reflect occupational medical surveillance, disability pension evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve orthopedic hand surgery. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to these state and local procurements, and state and local buyers are not currently sourcing orthopedic hand-surgery services under this taxonomy designation.

The posting pattern across recent opportunities spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas with no consistent issuing-body type — Phoenix's public safety pension boards, Long Beach's city benefits program, Washington State's ferry system, Harris County's juvenile detention authority, and Santa Clara County's health system all appear. Given the absence of solicitations that actually match the code's defined procedure scope and the persistent mislabeling across multiple state and local jurisdictions, this code does not represent an active procurement category for state and local buyers at present.
