UNSPSC 85714011: Excision of left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0RBV3ZZ

UNSPSC 85714011 Excision of left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not align with what state and local governments are actually procuring. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on a specific joint, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve excision of a metacarpophalangeal joint. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a systematic misuse of this medical-procedure code to describe health benefit administration and medical services contracting.

The six recent opportunities reflect procurement by counties (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). The Washington State Ferries RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026 requires board-certified occupational physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for disability medical record review and independent medical evaluations, due October 16, 2026, carries a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive staffing pool for temporary health professionals across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026, establishes a five-year qualified vendor list with no guaranteed volume. Activity is concentrated in California (Santa Clara, Long Beach), Arizona (Phoenix), Texas (Harris County), Florida (Collier County), and Washington State. Given the code's nominal scope and the diversity of health services actually being solicited, this code should not be relied upon for accurate market segmentation.
