This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from left metacarpophalangeal 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 0RPV45Z

UNSPSC 85714321 Removal of external fixation device from left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities tagged under it involve occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which align with the code's stated scope of orthopedic surgical device removal. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or that the code is being used as a catchall for miscellaneous health services outside its intended commodity definition.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span state transportation departments, county governments, cities, and special-purpose health systems; no single jurisdiction dominates. Recent geographic activity includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The most concrete recent opportunity is the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum over five years and an October 16, 2026 response deadline. Without a clear alignment between the code's orthopedic definition and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it, the code appears unsuitable for business development targeting in this market segment.
