This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into 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 0RHS34Z

UNSPSC 85713923 Insertion of internal fixation device into right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local contract activity aligned with its nominal scope of a specific orthopedic surgical procedure. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve metacarpocarpal joint fixation devices or the procedure named in the code taxonomy. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding or that state and local procurement systems are applying this Commodity code to cover broader health services categories rather than the discrete medical device and surgical procedure the code name denotes.

Issuing bodies posting under this code include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal personnel departments (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington), a county juvenile justice department (Harris County), a county health benefits authority (Collier County), and a regional health system (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code's actual procurement focus is health administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing rather than surgical hardware or operative procedures.
