UNSPSC 85713560: Excision of left metacarpocarpal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0RBT0ZZ

UNSPSC 85713560 Excision of left metacarpocarpal joint, open approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities indexed under it reflect the purchase of occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which constitutes the procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or a downstream taxonomy mapping error; the code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes.

The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span health system and government employee health benefit administration rather than orthopedic surgical procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) seeks surgical center-of-excellence network management for its employee PPO; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) is procuring occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026) is canvassing emergency and specialty hospital providers for detained youth; Collier County (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) is requesting pharmacy benefit management services for county employees; and Santa Clara County Health System (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is establishing a vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing. These activities fall under health service administration and workforce procurement, not surgical procedures. Prospective vendors should verify code assignment with the procuring jurisdiction before investing in pursuit strategy.
