UNSPSC 85713241: Replacement of left metacarpophalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left metacarpophalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0RRV07Z

UNSPSC 85713241 Replacement of left metacarpophalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical orthopedic procedure, but recent state and local solicitations posted under this code show no alignment with that clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement for independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out network administration, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve metacarpophalangeal joint replacement. The mismatch suggests this code either has been misapplied by issuing bodies or does not accurately reflect the medical services state and local governments are actually purchasing at the procedural level.

The six recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County) — a geographic spread across public employers, health systems, and transportation authorities. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) managing approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety retirees at a maximum of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (proposals due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's apparent misclassification across these opportunities, business development professionals should verify direct code applicability before committing to pursuit under this UNSPSC designation.
