This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic 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 0RPS4JZ

UNSPSC 85714342 Removal of synthetic substitute from right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure on a single joint using a defined technique, but the state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect broader healthcare administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing services. None of the six recent solicitations involve the surgical removal of synthetic joint substitutes or procedures on the metacarpocarpal joint. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data artifact; state and local procurement offices do not typically contract directly for individual surgical procedures at this level of specificity, and the opportunities presented do not align with that work.

The recent opportunities instead span medical record review and disability evaluation services (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), surgical network curation for employee health benefits (City of Long Beach proposal for Centers of Excellence carve-out programs, due October 7, 2026), occupational health examinations (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), pharmacy benefit administration (Collier County pharmacy management services, due April 9, 2026), temporary clinical staffing coordination (County of Santa Clara health professional pool establishment, due October 7, 2026), and specialty care procurement for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI, due September 25, 2026). The issuing bodies span county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county human services agencies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the disconnect between code definition and actual solicitation scope, this code does not represent actionable procurement activity for firms pursuing healthcare service delivery or orthopedic device contracts.
