This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from 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 0RPS4KZ

UNSPSC 85714341 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this code tag. The recent opportunities recorded under this code span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve tissue substitute removal or orthopedic joint procedures. The code appears to be a taxonomy mislabeling rather than an active procurement category, and the opportunities posted against it reflect broader healthcare administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing rather than the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies across the recorded opportunities include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health and benefits purchasers (Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with no clear concentration in any single state or region. 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 across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool covering thirteen ancillary clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows minimal or no relevance to orthopedic surgical services and should not be treated as a viable procurement avenue.
