UNSPSC 85713427: Insertion of internal fixation device into left metacarpocarpal 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 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 0RHT04Z

UNSPSC 85713427 Insertion of internal fixation device into left metacarpocarpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal taxonomy label does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code shows no relevant recent opportunities; the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve orthopedic fixation devices or surgical procedures of the type the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities were tagged or a fundamental misalignment between the code's scope and current purchasing behavior in this taxonomy.

Because no opportunities in the source material reflect the actual scope of UNSPSC 85713427, a reliable characterization of issuing-body mix, geographic spread, and representative current procurement cannot be drawn. Firms evaluating whether to pursue work under this code should verify the tagging against their own opportunity feeds and direct inquiry to state and local procurement offices before committing resources to this category.
