UNSPSC 85713338: Removal of internal fixation device from left metacarpocarpal 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 metacarpocarpal 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 0RPT04Z

UNSPSC 85713338, Removal of internal fixation device from left metacarpocarpal joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), disability medical evaluations for public safety pension boards (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits for city employees (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County, Florida), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involves orthopedic implant removal or surgical procedures on metacarpal joints; the code appears to have been applied to general health services and medical benefit administration opportunities rather than to the specific surgical intervention the commodity name describes.

The issuing bodies span state health systems, county human resources and procurement offices, city benefits administrators, and county juvenile justice departments across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Without recent opportunities that actually solicit surgical implant removal services or related orthopedic supply and equipment procurement, the code does not represent actionable market activity for firms pursuing state and local contracts in the surgical device removal space. Firms tracking this code should monitor whether tagging accuracy improves or whether procurement interest in the specific procedure emerges in future quarters.
