UNSPSC 85712700: Joints arm, percutaneous endoscopic 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 endoscopic 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 85712700 Joints arm, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part B is a Class code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code—independent medical evaluation services for retirement pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve healthcare administration, occupational health compliance, benefits management, and clinical staffing placement rather than medical devices, surgical supplies, or orthopedic procedures related to percutaneous endoscopic joint intervention. The code's nominal scope describes a specific procedural intervention, yet the opportunities reflect broad-based government healthcare procurement spanning multiple agencies and service lines unrelated to that clinical specification.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional health authorities. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida across the recent sample. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional extensions), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope.
