UNSPSC 85713559: Excision of right metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 0RBU0ZZ

UNSPSC 85713559 Excision of right metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical care networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve the named procedure or orthopedic joint surgery in any meaningful scope.

The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source or that the code has been applied to medical services procurements that fall outside its nominal definition. Absent opportunities that actually solicit excision of metacarpophalangeal joints or related surgical procedures, this code shows no relevant recent state and local activity. Business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged here.
