UNSPSC 85713247: Replacement of left metacarpocarpal 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 metacarpocarpal 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 0RRT07Z

UNSPSC 85713247 Replacement of left metacarpocarpal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally denotes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with that scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record summarization and independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical center-of-excellence network management — none of which involve metacarpocarpal joint replacement or orthopedic surgery. The code appears to be misapplied across diverse health service categories that state and local governments purchase through their benefits, employee health, and detention-care functions rather than direct surgical procedure procurement.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County), cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and a regional health authority (County of Santa Clara Health System). Geographic activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals in Washington (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code's recent activity does not reflect active procurement of the specific orthopedic procedure its name describes, and business developers should verify code alignment before pursuing opportunities posted under this classification.
