UNSPSC 85714100: Joints hand, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 16 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the joints of the hand with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0R.

UNSPSC 85714100 Joints hand, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A is a Class code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this taxonomy designation. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical care coordination, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve percutaneous endoscopic joint procedures or hand surgery. The code assignment appears to be a systematic mismatch rather than a reflection of active procurement in this commodity space.

The issuing bodies across the six recent opportunities span state departments, counties, cities, and special-purpose health districts: Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, City of Long Beach, City of Phoenix Retirement Office, and County of Santa Clara Health System. The geographic spread covers Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applicants (due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 dependents (due April 9, 2026 with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; procurement professionals should confirm code accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this designation.
