UNSPSC 85713428: Insertion of infusion device into left metacarpocarpal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion 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 0RHT03Z

UNSPSC 85713428, Insertion of infusion device into left metacarpocarpal joint, open approach, is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local contract activity. The code names a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — placement of an infusion device into a hand joint through an open surgical approach — but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of that service. Instead, the six most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code seek independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and inpatient hospital services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties. None of these opportunities align with the procedure named in the code itself, indicating either a classification error in the underlying procurement database or a systematic mismatch between how state and local procurement offices are tagging medical service contracts and the UNSPSC taxonomy structure.

The issuing bodies across these misaligned opportunities include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a municipal government (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county government (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara, California), representing a mix of local, county, and state entities. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Without evidence that state and local governments are actually procuring infusion device insertion procedures as a stand-alone contracting line item, this code does not represent a meaningful business development opportunity under current state and local procurement practice.
