This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition 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 0RSS3ZZ

UNSPSC 85713716 Reposition right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show no alignment with that clinical specification. Instead, the code encompasses a broad range of occupational health, disability benefit evaluation, employee health plan administration, pharmacy benefit management, medical staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none involving metacarpal joint repositioning. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county boards of commissioners, and county juvenile justice agencies. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that this code has been repurposed at the state and local level for health services contracting more broadly.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) posted RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with a due date of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026, requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians to conduct baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry service locations. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications under the Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach issued RFP HR26753 for surgical procedure carve-out benefit management (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a multiple-award qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. Given the wide disparity between the code name and actual work being bought, this code presents a sourcing risk for business development unless the mismatch reflects a known local data-quality issue.
