UNSPSC 85713910: Insertion of external fixation device into left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into left metacarpophalangeal 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 0RHV35Z

UNSPSC 85713910 Insertion of external fixation device into left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its clinical scope. The code's nominal definition — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure on the hand — does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local notices. Instead, the opportunities posted against this code span medical administration, health insurance benefit design, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve external fixation devices or hand surgery procedures.

Geographic activity is dispersed across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (WSDOT/Washington State Ferries), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The issuing bodies include a city retirement office, municipalities, a state transportation department, a county health system, a county probation department, and a county commissioner's office. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753) for surgical procedure carve-out benefits management with proposals due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code appears to carry a UNSPSC classification mismatch and does not reflect active procurement of the procedure it nominally describes.
