This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right 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 0RPU4JZ

UNSPSC 85714326 Removal of synthetic substitute from right metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code actually procure occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs — none of which involve the joint procedure the code nominates. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests this code sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity.

The source records six recent opportunities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but only one — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) — touches on medical evaluation work that could plausibly relate to disability or occupational assessment. The remaining five opportunities span pharmacy benefit management (Collier County, RFP 25-8414), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), surgical benefit carve-out networks (City of Long Beach, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). None of these solicitations involves orthopedic joint procedures or metacarpophalangeal joint surgery. The code's application to health-care administration, occupational medicine, and staffing services appears to be a classification error rather than a genuine match to the commodity's defined scope.
