UNSPSC 85713837: Removal of external fixation device from left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device 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 0RPT35Z

UNSPSC 85713837 "Removal of external fixation device from left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its stated medical procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not align with orthopedic surgical procedure removal; instead, the five state and local solicitations posted between July and September 2026 cover independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgery carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. None of these procurements involve the specific procedure named in the code's title—external fixation device removal—or orthopedic surgical interventions generally.

The geographic spread of the tagged opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Cities of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), indicating activity across multiple regions but with no concentration in orthopedic or surgical-procedure procurement. The issuing bodies include municipal governments, county health systems, a state transportation department, and a county juvenile justice agency—none of which are signaling demand for the specific procedure code. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code does not represent a viable procurement opportunity for vendors in orthopedic surgical device removal or related services under current state and local activity.
