UNSPSC 85713836: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue 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 0RPT37Z

UNSPSC 85713836 (Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach), a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent activity among state and local procurement opportunities. The code—a surgical procedure descriptor used in clinical coding systems—does not align with the kinds of services state and local governments actually procure. Recent opportunities tagged under this code instead reflect broader healthcare administration and workforce support: independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for city employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations address procurement of healthcare services delivery, administration, and staffing rather than a specific surgical procedure on a single anatomical site.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement demand suggests either a tagging error in the state and local opportunity data or an exceptionally narrow code with limited real-world application in government contracting. The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county boards of commissioners—across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. No single UNSPSC code cluster captures the healthcare procurement pattern these agencies are executing. Vendors evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local pursuit and instead monitor broader healthcare services families (medical examinations, health plan administration, clinical staffing) where actual government demand is documented.
