This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from right 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 0RPS30Z

UNSPSC 85713848 Removal of drainage device from right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code for which the recent state and local procurement record shows little activity aligned to the code's stated clinical scope. The six posted opportunities that carry this code tag cover occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation, ferries operations), independent medical evaluations for public safety disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out networks for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans (Collier County), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara). None of these solicitations address orthopedic hand surgery, drainage-device removal, or percutaneous procedures on the metacarpocarpal joint.

The issuing bodies are split between state health and transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, County of Santa Clara Health System), county government procurement offices (Collier County, Harris County), and municipal government (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Activity appears scattered across administrative healthcare purchasing (benefits management, occupational medicine, temporary staffing support) rather than concentrated in any jurisdiction or service line. The code's nomination appears to be a data-entry or classification error rather than a signal of actual procurement demand for orthopedic hand surgery device removal services under this code. Recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 carry response dates in October 2026, with the City of Phoenix RFP due October 16, 2026, Washington State Ferries due October 9, 2026, and Santa Clara Health System due October 7, 2026, but none involve the clinical scope the code nominally describes.
