UNSPSC 85713328: Removal of autologous 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 autologous 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 0RPU07Z

UNSPSC 85713328 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code with little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's highly specialized orthopedic surgical procedure designation does not align with the actual work being solicited by state and local governments under this classification in the recent opportunity record.

Recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the specific joint-replacement or tissue-substitute removal procedures the code nominally describes. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the City of Long Beach solicited a surgical-procedure carve-out program for Centers of Excellence covering multiple organ systems and joints generally (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026). Harris County Juvenile Probation Department and Collier County also posted health-services solicitations under this code. The mismatch between the code's orthopedic-procedure specificity and the breadth of health administration, occupational medicine, and benefit-management services actually being purchased suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement databases or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services contracting. No activity under this code reflects the surgical intervention the UNSPSC designation implies.
