UNSPSC 85713320: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from left metacarpophalangeal joint, 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 0RPV07Z

UNSPSC 85713320 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's clinical designation does not align with the scope of the six recent opportunities tagged under it, which instead solicit occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations address broad health plan administration, occupational medicine, clinical staffing, and emergency care — not orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue-substitute removal. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a data-collection artifact rather than genuine procurement demand for the specific surgical service the code nominates.

The issuers across the six records are geographically dispersed county and municipal health systems and government employee benefit programs: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The largest contract by value is Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending around $8.7 million. The most clinically direct opportunity is the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), which explicitly requires physicians board-certified in occupational medicine to conduct baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 Washington locations. None of the six opportunities actually procure surgical tissue-substitute procedures or related clinical services at the specificity this code implies. Vendors evaluating this code should treat it as a poor match for current state and local activity and instead monitor the discrete health-services categories under which these governments are actually buying.
