This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in right metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous 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 0RWU3JZ

UNSPSC 85713626 Revision of synthetic substitute in right metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to orthopedic joint surgery or any surgical procedure—they span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve metacarpophalangeal joint revision or implant surgery. The code appears to be a data-tagging mismatch rather than a meaningful procurement category in state and local government contracting.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county health systems and human resources divisions (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional health systems. Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Because the code's nominal scope bears no operational relationship to the work being solicited, pursue alternative UNSPSC codes that align with state and local health services, benefits administration, or occupational health procurement instead.
