UNSPSC 85713347: Removal of infusion device from right metacarpocarpal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from right 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 0RPS03Z

UNSPSC 85713347 Removal of infusion device from right metacarpocarpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve infusion device removal or orthopedic joint procedures. This systematic mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or erroneously in the state and local taxonomy instance from which these opportunities were drawn, rendering it unsuitable for business development targeting based on the work actually being solicited.

The recent opportunities do reveal active procurement by diverse issuing bodies—county health systems, county commissioners, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county probation authorities—across California, Florida, Texas, Washington, and Arizona. However, because these opportunities do not reflect the code's stated scope, classifying this code as viable for pursuit would require verification that the taxonomy alignment error is localized to this data source rather than systemic. Practitioners should confirm the code's actual current use in their target jurisdictions before committing resources to opportunities tagged under it.
