This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of spacer in right metacarpocarpal 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 0RWS38Z

UNSPSC 85713643 Revision of spacer in right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure on a specific hand joint, but the most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not involve orthopedic procedures or surgical implants. Instead, they solicit independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out network administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical care coordination—none of which align with the code's surgical-procedure scope. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this code does not meaningfully capture current state and local procurement activity.

The six recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, sourced from city retirement offices, municipal health systems, county commissioners, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation departments. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out administration (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026). No solicitation in the dataset addresses the orthopedic or joint-replacement procedures implied by the code itself. Firms considering this code should verify whether their service lines actually map to the stated commodity definition or whether a different UNSPSC code better reflects their state and local market.
