UNSPSC 85714457: Fusion of left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left 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 0RGT4ZZ

UNSPSC 85714457 Fusion of left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for arthrodesis of the thumb metacarpophalangeal joint, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve metacarpocarpal joint fusion or orthopedic surgery delivery.

The mismatch reflects a classification error in the source data rather than active state and local buying of this surgical procedure. No recent solicitations document procurement of metacarpocarpal joint fusion services, surgeon credentials for such procedures, or surgical facility contracting. The issuing bodies posting under this code—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are using the code to tag health services management and staffing contracts that fall outside orthopedic procedural purchasing. This code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing contracts to deliver or support metacarpocarpal joint fusion services.
