UNSPSC 85713835: Removal of spacer from left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer 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 0RPT38Z

UNSPSC 85713835 Removal of spacer from left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code. The code shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code. State and local governments do not appear to procure percutaneous orthopedic joint procedures as discrete commodities through standard procurement channels; medical procedures are typically embedded in health plan administration, employee benefit programs, occupational health contracts, or inmate care services managed by larger procurement vehicles. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a code misalignment with operational state and local procurement practice.

No representative recent opportunities directly match removal of spacer from left metacarpocarpal joint procedures. The geographic spread of the tangentially related opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (statewide ferries operations), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), but these solicitations address health services administration and staffing rather than orthopedic surgical commodities. If pursuing work under this code, validate the UNSPSC classification against the actual solicitation scope before submitting, as the disconnect between code definition and posted opportunities signals potential miscoding at the point of posting.
