This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device 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 0RPU44Z

UNSPSC 85714330, Removal of internal fixation device from right metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code tagged to opportunities that show little alignment with its nominal orthopedic surgical scope. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, and emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve percutaneous endoscopic removal of fixation devices from hand joints. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than an active commodity category reflecting current buying patterns.

Issuing bodies across the recent records include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation systems (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara), and county commissioners' human resources divisions (Collier County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration pattern. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with an October 16, 2026 deadline and $750,000 five-year maximum contract value; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with an October 9, 2026 deadline and pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with an October 7, 2026 deadline. Vendors pursuing opportunities tagged to this code should verify actual scope alignment before investing bid resources, as the code designation does not reflect the medical and administrative services being solicited.
