UNSPSC 85713325: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right 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 0RPU0KZ

UNSPSC 85713325 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical procedure scope. The six recent state and local opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability pension medical evaluations, surgical benefits carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, and independent medical evaluation services—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue substitute removal. The mismatch suggests the code was applied inconsistently or incorrectly by the issuing bodies, or that the taxonomy assignment reflects administrative classification rather than clinical procedure scope.

Among the opportunities tagged to the code, the most concrete solicitations are the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), which requires board-certified occupational medicine physicians across 14 Washington ferry locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting public safety pension disability determinations (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, proposals due October 7, 2026, targeting Anthem PPO plan members); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414, proposals due April 9, 2026). These opportunities originate from state departments, county human resources and health systems, cities, and pension boards across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the code's nominal orthopedic surgical scope does not align with the health administration and occupational medicine services actually being procured.
