UNSPSC 85713246: Replacement of left metacarpocarpal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left metacarpocarpal joint with synthetic 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 0RRT0JZ

UNSPSC 85713246 Replacement of left metacarpocarpal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not solicit joint replacement implants, surgical devices, or procedural supplies. Instead, the recent postings capture medical services contracting—disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit administration, surgical Center of Excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The issuing bodies span a mixed portfolio: city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county probation departments (Harris County), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County).

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West, with recent postings from Phoenix and Long Beach in Arizona and California, Washington state, Harris County (Texas), and Collier County (Florida). The most representative recent opportunities underscore the code's actual use for medical services procurement rather than implant procurement: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001) due October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825) due October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System issued an RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) due October 7, 2026 to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. The code shows low relevance to orthopedic device or implant procurement and is likely misclassified in these opportunities.
