UNSPSC 85714348: Removal of drainage device from right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage 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 0RPS40Z

UNSPSC 85714348 Removal of drainage device from right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no alignment with the code's orthopedic surgical scope. Instead, the tagged solicitations span occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care networks, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve orthopedic hand surgery or device removal. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated medical procedure classification. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code incorrectly to general healthcare administration and staffing solicitations rather than to actual orthopedic surgical services.

The mismatch suggests that either the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment in the underlying procurement database is erroneous, or the source material does not contain recent opportunities that genuinely match the code's scope. The issuing bodies in the dataset — the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County — are pursuing health benefits, medical staffing, occupational medicine, and detention healthcare services. Without access to state and local opportunities that actually solicit orthopedic surgical device removal services, removal procedures, or related surgical equipment and supplies under this or a related code, no reliable characterization of current market activity, geographic concentration, or contract value ranges can be drawn from this source material.
