This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into 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 0RHS45Z

UNSPSC 85714422, Insertion of external fixation device into right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code with minimal alignment between its nominal scope and state and local procurement activity actually being tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not describe orthopedic device insertion, fixation procedures, or any surgical implant work; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical care coordination through centers of excellence, and inpatient specialty care for detained youth. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the surgical device work its name suggests.

Issuing bodies across the recent records include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), multiple counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, and the City of Phoenix's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services for fire and police pension disability determinations due October 16, 2026. The code assignment appears to be a data-quality issue rather than a reflection of actual procurement demand in this commodity class.
