UNSPSC 85713915: Insertion of internal fixation device into right metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into right 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 0RHU34Z

UNSPSC 85713915 Insertion of internal fixation device into right metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — insertion of orthopedic fixation hardware into a specific joint — but the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect health services administration, benefit design, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy management, and temporary clinical staffing, none of which involve insertion of internal fixation devices or surgical procedures of any kind. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error or that the code is being misapplied to health services contracting broadly.

No state and local government procurement opportunities presently solicited under this code involve the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally names. Prospective vendors evaluating this code should flag the classification disconnect with procurement offices before investing in pursuit strategy, as the opportunities currently tagged here — including independent medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix, RFP RTMRFP26001, October 16, 2026), surgical benefit carve-out program management (City of Long Beach, RFP HR26753, October 7, 2026), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP RFP20260825, October 9, 2026), specialty healthcare for youth in custody (Harris County, RFI 071626BNM, September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County, RFP 25-8414, April 9, 2026), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, October 7, 2026) — represent administrative and staffing functions rather than surgical implant procurement or operative services.
