UNSPSC 85712400: Joints arm, percutaneous approach-part B

This class includes one or more of 16 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the joints of the arm with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0R.

UNSPSC 85712400 Joints arm, percutaneous approach-part B is a Class code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical device scope and the actual work state and local governments are currently soliciting. The recent opportunities record no procurement of percutaneous joint devices or implants; instead, they reflect demand for occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, cities, and health systems, but none of the opportunities present in the source are actually purchasing or contracting for the joint-device product line the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with opportunities posted between July and September 2026. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit and Centers of Excellence carve-out program (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity and does not capture the actual procurement category in use for these opportunities; misclassification or data-entry error appears likely. Firms pursuing orthopedic or joint-care supply contracting should verify code assignment directly with issuing bodies rather than rely on this UNSPSC tag.
