UNSPSC 85713878: Inspection of right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of 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 0RJS3ZZ

UNSPSC 85713878 Inspection of right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The code describes a medical procedure—inspection of a specific joint via percutaneous approach—yet the recent solicitations reflect organizational health and medical administration services including disability benefit evaluations, occupational surveillance, surgical benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services. None of these opportunities involve metacarpocarpal joint inspection or percutaneous procedures. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county health systems, county probation departments, and city employees' benefits programs across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington—a geographically distributed set of public entities. This code shows little relevant recent activity and appears to have been misapplied to procurement notices focused on health services administration and staffing rather than orthopedic or hand surgery procedures.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RTMRFP26001, RFP, due October 16, 2026) solicits independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, IFB-equivalent, due October 9, 2026) seeks occupational medical surveillance for four personnel categories across 14 ferry locations; the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, non-exclusive qualification vehicle, due October 7, 2026) establishes a temporary staffing pool for ancillary health professionals including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical operating room services. None of these procurements involve hand or joint surgery. Practitioners should verify code assignment with the issuing body before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
