UNSPSC 85713834: Removal of synthetic substitute from left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from 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 0RPT3JZ

UNSPSC 85713834, Removal of synthetic substitute from left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the six posted opportunities from August–September 2026 reflect procurement of occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, health plan carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the surgical procedure the code describes. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying signals suggests either a data-entry error at the issuing body or a categorical misclassification within the state and local procurement system.

The opportunities posted under this code come from diverse issuing bodies — a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach) — but their actual procurements fall outside orthopedic surgery and synthetic joint procedures. Without recent solicitations that genuinely align with the code's stated scope, this code offers no reliable signal for business development activity in surgical implant removal or related orthopedic services at the state and local level.
