UNSPSC 85713680: Supplement right metacarpocarpal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right metacarpocarpal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0RUS3KZ

UNSPSC 85713680 Supplement right metacarpocarpal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical implant procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code does not align with the code's clinical scope. The source contains six recent opportunities spanning August through September 2026, none of which concern orthopedic implants, joint supplementation, or surgical devices. Instead, the opportunities address independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical center-of-excellence networks, emergency medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — all peripheral to or entirely unrelated to the code's stated procedure.

The mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding on the part of issuing bodies or that UNSPSC 85713680 is being used as a catch-all for health services not specifically classified elsewhere. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for disability medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgery center-of-excellence carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for youth due September 25, 2026. Collier County posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with a proposal deadline of April 9, 2026, covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members at an estimated annual spend of $8.7 million. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical product scope and warrants verification against issuing-body coding practices or recoding to a health services family that better reflects actual state and local procurement under this classification.
