This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0RWS45Z

UNSPSC 85714145 Revision of external fixation device in right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the medical and occupational health services actually being solicited by state and local agencies. Recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for public employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve orthopedic device revision or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The code's nominal scope appears misaligned with the purchasing activity recorded against it.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code in the past two months include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee health programs (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County, Texas), county human resources and benefits consortia (Collier County, Florida), and county health systems (Santa Clara, California). No repeat buyers are evident from the recent-opportunities block. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no alignment with orthopedic implant procurement or surgical procedure management; firms tracking this code for relevant state and local opportunities should verify categorization or redirect focus to health services and staffing codes with clearer applicability to government employee benefit administration and occupational health compliance.
