UNSPSC 85714003: Extirpation of matter from left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous 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 0RCV3ZZ

UNSPSC 85714003 Extirpation of matter from left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care network management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve joint surgery or percutaneous extirpation. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a fundamental disconnect between the code's surgical intent and how state and local procurement systems are tagging health-related services.

The six recent opportunities span state departments, counties, and municipal governments across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but they do not reflect procurement of orthopedic surgical services or related medical devices. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825) due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001) due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted a surgical care network carve-out RFP (HR26753) due October 7, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services due September 25, 2026; Collier County posted a pharmacy benefit management RFP (RFP 25-8414) with a past-due date of April 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a temporary health professional staffing RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) due October 7, 2026. None of these solicitations seek orthopedic surgery or joint procedures. Firms evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities, as the code appears to be applied inconsistently or incorrectly to health services procurement.
