UNSPSC 85713825: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right 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 0RPU3KZ

UNSPSC 85713825 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity captured in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure code, but the opportunities posted under this classification reflect general medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefits management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the orthopedic joint-repair procedure the code name indicates. The mismatch suggests the code is a tagging error in the issuing systems rather than a meaningful procurement classification for this activity.

Recent activity under this code shows state and local buyers including a city retirement office, a state transportation department, a county board of commissioners, a county health system, and a city employee benefits program. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, with a five-year term valued at $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations. Santa Clara County Health System posted an RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services. Collier County issued an RFP (258414, due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members with estimated annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million. Activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, with no meaningful geographic clustering. The code shows little relevant procurement signal and appears to reflect a classification system error rather than active state and local buying.
