UNSPSC 85713646: Revision of internal fixation device in right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device 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 0RWS34Z

UNSPSC 85713646 Revision of internal fixation device in right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, but the state and local opportunities posted under it are predominantly administrative and occupational health services rather than surgical device supply or implant procurement. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted a solicitation for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services; the County of Santa Clara Health System sought temporary ancillary health professional staffing; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services delivery. None of these procurements involve the acquisition or revision of metacarpocarpal joint fixation devices or related orthopedic implants.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the nature of the recent solicitations suggests that state and local procurement offices have applied this code to general medical services procurement rather than to specialized orthopedic implant supply or surgical procedure contracting. Business development professionals targeting genuine orthopedic implant, surgical device, or procedure-revision opportunities should verify that opportunities are tagged under relevant commodity codes for medical devices or implantable hardware rather than relying on UNSPSC 85713646, which does not reflect active procurement in that category at present.
