This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device 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 0RPS44Z

UNSPSC 85714346 Removal of internal fixation device from right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code's title describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluation, surgical carve-out benefits, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve metacarpocarpal joint surgery or internal fixation removal. The mismatch between the code's procedure-specific name and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data classification error. State and local procurement offices do not routinely bid out individual surgical procedures as standalone line items; instead, they procure occupational health services, medical benefits administration, and staffing through broader health services agreements.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026 and maximum compensation of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) requested proposals for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) solicited temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. None of these opportunities target the specific procedure named in the code. Until issuing bodies apply the code accurately or the code is reclassified, this Commodity does not present a reliable signal for business development targeting state and local health procurement.
