UNSPSC 85714007: Extirpation of matter from left carpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left carpal 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 0RCR3ZZ

UNSPSC 85714007 Extirpation of matter from left carpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that clinical scope. The opportunities instead reflect a mix of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—none of which are joint-specific surgical extractions. The code assignment appears to be a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the actual work being solicited. State and local buyers posting under this code include county boards of commissioners (Collier County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County), and municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach).

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code does not show robust recent activity tied to its stated clinical definition and warrants investigation into whether opportunities are being tagged correctly or whether the code itself requires clarification in your firm's targeting system.
