UNSPSC 85713729: Repair left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left 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 0RQT3ZZ

UNSPSC 85713729 Repair left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code are healthcare service procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical director roles — none of which involve orthopedic surgical repair or percutaneous joint procedures. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification misapplied to broader healthcare administration and service contracts, creating a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and actual state and local purchasing activity.

The most recent opportunities posted under this code span county health systems, county corrections facilities, and municipal fire departments across Georgia and Florida, with one California county posting a behavioral health peer support services contract. Issuing bodies include Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison inmate medical services, RFP 26-0008, due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Pharmacy Benefit Management Services, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services, RFP, due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (Peer Support for Peer Workers, RFP 2025-007, $580,000 total funding), and Santa Monica Fire Department (Medical Director, RFP 455, due October 16, 2025). Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the services actually being procured, this code shows little actionable recent activity for vendors offering orthopedic or surgical services.
