UNSPSC 85713332: Removal of drainage device from right metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device 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 0RPU00Z

UNSPSC 85713332 "Removal of drainage device from right metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities solicited under this classification span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out networks for municipal employees, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve drainage-device removal or right-hand metacarpophalangeal joint procedures. This systematic mismatch indicates either a data-entry error in code assignment or a significant taxonomy misalignment within the source procurement system.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluations, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical carve-out benefits, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and actual procurement activity, this code should be treated as inactive or misconfigured for business development purposes; the opportunities posted here are not genuinely soliciting drainage-device removal services and would be better served by reviewing the correct UNSPSC classifications for medical staffing, pharmacy management, and occupational health services.
