UNSPSC 85713340: Removal of drainage device from left metacarpocarpal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage 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 0RPT00Z

UNSPSC 85713340 Removal of drainage device from left metacarpocarpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with surgical device removal or orthopedic interventions. Instead, state and local buyers have tagged opportunities in occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the removal of drainage devices or direct surgical procedures on metacarpocarpal joints. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact within state and local procurement systems rather than an active commodity category reflecting current buying patterns.

The geographic spread of opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), Florida (Collier County), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State (Department of Transportation), but these issuances are unrelated to the code's stated scope. No recent opportunities specifically solicit drainage device removal services, orthopedic surgical supplies, or procedures matching the UNSPSC 85713340 description. Practitioners should verify code alignment before pursuing opportunities under this classification, as the mismatch between the code definition and actual solicitation scope signals either data-entry error or system misconfiguration rather than legitimate procurement demand for the specified service.
