UNSPSC 85713582: Destruction of left metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0R5V0ZZ

UNSPSC 85713582 Destruction of left metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code's clinical descriptor—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—bears no relation to the scope of the six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026, which cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the procurement source data or that this code is not actively used to tag relevant state and local health and medical service purchases. No substantive procurement activity under the stated code scope is evident.

The recent opportunities themselves span multiple issuing bodies—state health systems (Washington State Department of Transportation's Ferries Division, Santa Clara County Health System), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), and cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, Long Beach)—with response dates ranging from September 25 to October 16, 2026, but none align with the surgical procedure described in the code's title. State and local procurement offices appear to use this code inaccurately or not at all for their medical and health service needs. A vendor evaluating pursuit should verify the intended code against the actual scope of work before investing in proposal development.
