UNSPSC 85713629: Revision of external fixation device in right metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device 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 0RWU35Z

UNSPSC 85713629 Revision of external fixation device in right metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure on the hand—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it. The solicitations instead cover occupational and disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management programs, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these services involve orthopedic device revision or hand surgery procedures. The mismatch suggests the code was applied inappropriately to these opportunities during classification or posting.

The recent opportunities do reveal activity across several jurisdictions and issuing bodies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety personnel disability determinations (due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations statewide (due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits management (due October 7, 2026); Santa Clara County Health System posted an RFSQ for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); and Collier County posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, reflecting a prior posting date). The code shows no decision-relevant activity aligned with its stated orthopedic scope.
