UNSPSC 85713242: Replacement of right metacarpophalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right metacarpophalangeal joint with nonautologous 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 0RRU0KZ

UNSPSC 85713242 Replacement of right metacarpophalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. The solicitations tagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, medical staffing placement, pharmacy benefit management, pension-board disability evaluations, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve metacarpophalangeal joint replacement or related implant procurement. This code shows little relevant recent activity for state and local buyers actually purchasing orthopedic implants or joint replacement services.

The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual work being solicited suggests that the classification reflects administrative tagging rather than procurement substance. Issuing bodies in the recent sample include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county-level actors (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's health professional staffing pool solicitation due October 7, 2026 — all of which involve medical services delivery and staffing, not orthopedic implant procurement or surgical procedures themselves.
