UNSPSC 85713245: Replacement of left metacarpocarpal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left metacarpocarpal 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 0RRT0KZ

UNSPSC 85713245 Replacement of left metacarpocarpal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the work actually being solicited by state and local bodies posting against this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to the code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve metacarpocarpal joint replacement procedures or orthopedic implants. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding or test-posting by procurement offices unfamiliar with the UNSPSC taxonomy at the Commodity tier.

The issuing bodies represent diverse state and local jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). None of these opportunities directly purchase orthopedic implants or surgical procedures; they instead procure third-party medical administration, staffing, and benefit management. Pursue this code only after verifying that your firm's actual service lines match the procurement body's documented scope of work rather than relying on the UNSPSC Commodity classification alone.
