This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0RWS4JZ

UNSPSC 85714142 Revision of synthetic substitute in right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose title reflects a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations posted under this code do not align with orthopedic implant procurement or surgical supply activity. Instead, the code shows activity in medical evaluation and occupational health services procurement—independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, and health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. The issuing bodies include cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county boards (Collier County), and specialized retirement boards. State and local procurement offices are not using this code to buy the orthopedic joint revision implants or related surgical supplies that the code name describes; instead, they are tagging administrative healthcare services and workforce staffing under a code whose scope does not match the work actually being procured.

Recent solicitations posted under the code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for fire and police pension boards; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program using Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), Washington state, California (Santa Clara, Long Beach), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The code shows little relevant recent activity for actual orthopedic implant or surgical supply procurement. Firms evaluating this code should verify procurement office tagging—the code's nominal scope and actual state-local buying activity do not align, suggesting either a systematic classification mismatch or isolated mistagged opportunities.
