This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage 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 0RPS00Z

UNSPSC 85713348 Removal of drainage device from right metacarpocarpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not match the recent opportunities posted under this taxonomy entry. State and local governments post medical service solicitations across this code, but those opportunities span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve the removal of a drainage device from a metacarpocarpal joint or orthopedic surgery as traditionally defined. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities are tagged to UNSPSC codes or that this code is used as a catch-all for disparate medical services without precision alignment to the code's actual commodity definition.

Recent opportunities issuing under this code originate from city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County), municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state departments of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county human resources divisions (Collier County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (response due October 9, 2026, two-year term with five optional one-year extensions), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's request for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle). The code shows active procurement volume but exhibits substantial category drift from its stated definition.
