UNSPSC 85713418: Insertion of external fixation device into left metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into left 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 0RHV05Z

UNSPSC 85713418, Insertion of external fixation device into left metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency medical services for detained youth, and specialty medical examinations — none of which involve orthopedic surgical devices or procedures. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention on a hand joint, yet the recent opportunities solicited by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System are administrative medical services, benefit program management, and staffing arrangements entirely disconnected from device insertion or operative orthopedic work.

The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual procurement activity suggests either a tagging error by the issuing bodies or that this code is not in active use for state and local contracting. No recent opportunities present a concrete business development signal under the code as written. Firms pursuing orthopedic surgical devices or hand-surgery-related products should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before building a pursuit strategy; the activity tagged here does not align with the commodity's scope.
