UNSPSC 85713822: Removal of internal fixation device from left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left metacarpophalangeal 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 0RPV34Z

UNSPSC 85713822 Removal of internal fixation device from left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal procedural scope. The code appears tagged to healthcare administration and benefits management solicitations rather than orthopedic surgical procedures. State and local governments are instead procuring disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, emergency medical services for youth in detention, and temporary clinical staffing under codes with similar medical and health-related nomenclature, though none of these activities involve removal of metacarpophalangeal joint hardware.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida across city retirement systems, state transportation agencies, county health systems, county procurement offices, and juvenile justice authorities. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001) due October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP (RFP20260825) due October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations; the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) due October 7, 2026 to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in multiple ancillary clinical specialties; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services. None of these solicitations addresses orthopedic procedures or removal of internal fixation devices. The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the actual state and local work being tagged to it signals potential classification error in the underlying procurement systems.
