UNSPSC 85714010: Excision of right finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right finger phalangeal 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 0RBW3ZZ

UNSPSC 85714010 Excision of right finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — does not align with the state and local opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code reflect a substantial mismatch: they encompass independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs and Centers of Excellence management, occupational medical surveillance programs, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities constitute or arrange the named surgical procedure. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated definition.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 originate from diverse issuing bodies—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—spanning Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks independent medical evaluation services including medical record summarization and scheduling of disability examinations for approximately 75 annual pension applications over a five-year, $750,000 term. The Long Beach RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) requests a surgical and medical procedure carve-out program offering Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees, with a two-year initial term and options to renew for up to three additional one-year periods. The Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) calls for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, requiring examinations by board-certified occupational medicine physicians for four personnel categories under a two-year term with options for up to five additional one-year extensions. These opportunities suggest state and local governments are actively purchasing healthcare administration, medical management networks, and occupational health services rather than surgical procedures, indicating a fundamental classification disconnect between the code and current procurement activity.
