This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right metacarpocarpal joint with external fixation device, 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 0RSS35Z

UNSPSC 85713717 Reposition right metacarpocarpal joint with external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this tag. The recent opportunities posted under this code consist of correctional healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or metacarpocarpal joint repositioning. The code appears to have been misapplied in state and local procurement systems, and the opportunities present no clear connection to the orthopedic surgical scope the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of the misaligned opportunities spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus/Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department). Recent activity includes Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026, with annual historical pharmacy spending around $8.7 million), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services RFP (due April 16, 2026), Columbus Consolidated Government's inmate medical and pharmacy services RFP for Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026, with current monthly costs of $95,537.71), and San Mateo County's peer support for peer workers MHSA innovation pilot (due July 2, 2025, total funding $580,000). No relevant orthopedic surgery procurement activity appears under this code in the recent-opportunities block. Vendors evaluating this code should verify proper UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities, as the current tagging suggests a systematic miscoding rather than an active procurement category aligned with the code's stated scope.
