This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right 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 0R5S0ZZ

UNSPSC 85713585 Destruction of right metacarpocarpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal orthopedic surgical procedure title and recent state and local procurement activity. The code does not appear to be used by state and local governments to solicit medical procedures themselves; instead, recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect broader healthcare and occupational medical services procurement — including independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies are diverse: 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. None of these opportunities solicits the specific orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code; the code's application to this buying activity appears to be a data classification mismatch rather than a reflection of actual procurement scope.

Geographic activity spans Washington State (occupational medical surveillance for ferries), Arizona (independent medical evaluations for public safety pension boards), California (Santa Clara County health staffing and Long Beach employee benefits), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefits), and Texas (Harris County youth detention medical services). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with an October 16, 2026 response deadline and a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, with an October 9, 2026 proposal deadline and a two-year initial term with options to extend. Given the disconnect between the code's surgical nomenclature and the healthcare administration and staffing services actually being procured, this code does not represent a coherent buying category for business development purposes in state and local procurement.
