UNSPSC 85713419: Insertion of internal 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 internal 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 0RHV04Z

UNSPSC 85713419, Insertion of internal fixation device into left metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a highly specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not match the types of work actually being solicited under this code identifier in state and local markets.

Recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC code reflect health services procurement across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies, including a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a municipal benefits department (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county probation department (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), a county health consortium (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and a county health system (County of Santa Clara Health System). The actual work being solicited includes occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, disability medical evaluations for public safety pension applicants, surgical carve-out networks for municipal employee health plans, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, and other ancillary specialties. This divergence suggests the code has been misapplied in sourcing systems or that recent postings reflect categorization drift rather than procurement aligned to the code's stated clinical procedure.

Geographic activity spans Washington State (occupational medical examinations through Washington State Ferries), Arizona (Phoenix retirement office disability evaluations), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County health procurement), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefits), and Texas (Harris County juvenile probation). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RTMRFP26001 for disability medical record summary and independent evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026, and Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services (proposal deadline April 9, 2026, though this date has passed as of today). The code shows no relevant recent activity genuinely aligned to its stated scope of specific orthopedic procedures; practitioners pursuing work under this code should verify alignment with actual state and local solicitations before investing in pursuit infrastructure.
