UNSPSC 85713322: Removal of internal fixation device from left metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device 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 0RPV04Z

UNSPSC 85713322, Removal of internal fixation device from left metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach (Commodity), describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure code. However, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal or no alignment with the code's clinical scope. The opportunities instead reflect medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing services — categories that fall outside orthopedic surgical intervention. This mismatch indicates the code has little relevant recent purchasing activity in state and local procurement markets, or that the code classification itself may not reflect how jurisdictions are tagging these solicitations.

The small sample of opportunities shows issuing bodies spanning large counties and municipalities: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (a $750,000, five-year contract for disability medical record summaries and physician examinations), Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026 (a two-year contract with optional extension, cost-based scoring), and County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. None of these solicitations involve surgical removal of internal fixation devices or similar orthopedic procedures, suggesting the code tagging does not reflect actual procurement demand in this category.
