UNSPSC 85714013: Excision of left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left metacarpocarpal 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 0RBT3ZZ

UNSPSC 85714013 Excision of left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that in practice does not match the medical services actually being solicited by state and local governments under this designation. The code's clinical specificity—a surgical procedure on a specific joint—bears no relationship to the scope of work appearing in recent opportunities, which center on occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health staffing, and surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans. The mismatch signals either a cataloging error in how these opportunities were tagged or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies classify health-care administrative and staffing services. State and local procurement activity under this code shows no relevant recent opportunities.

The most recent opportunities tagged to this code span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington and originate from city retirement boards, county human-resources divisions, state transportation departments, and county health systems—a diverse issuing-body mix with no repeat buyers. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical benefit carve-out management due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. None of these solicitations reference joint-surgery procedures or orthopedic surgical coding—they describe administrative health services, staffing networks, and benefit design. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement targeting purposes and verify correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities.
