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 0RPS38Z

UNSPSC 85713843 Removal of spacer from right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no alignment with this orthopedic surgical procedure. Instead, the code shows activity in occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and hospital-based emergency and specialty care services for youth in custody. This mismatch indicates the code as currently tagged does not reflect the actual procurement activity being conducted by state and local bodies, and opportunities under this code should be evaluated with caution for relevance to the stated commodity scope.

Recent solicitations originate from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county procurement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach solicited a surgical carve-out and Centers of Excellence program (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for employee and retiree benefits; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQ HHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread spans at least Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the code's nominal scope does not match these health services procurements.
