UNSPSC 85713568: Drainage of left metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 0R9V0ZZ

UNSPSC 85713568 Drainage of left metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on a specific hand joint, but the six recent opportunities solicited under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which constitute drainage of a metacarpophalangeal joint or any other specific surgical procedure. The mismatch suggests a coding error in the source data rather than a legitimate procurement category in state and local government.

The recent opportunities do show active buying by municipal and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) managing approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety personnel, the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure Centers of Excellence carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). This code shows no relevant recent activity for state and local procurement of orthopedic or hand surgery services.
