This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left finger phalangeal joint with synthetic substitute, 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 0RUX4JZ

UNSPSC 85714166 Supplement left finger phalangeal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. Recent solicitations posted under this code target independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical benefit administration — none of which align with orthopedic joint-replacement procedures or surgical implants. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to medical services procurement, or the source data conflates clinical procedure codes with service procurement taxonomy. State and local issuers using this code include county human resources divisions (Collier County, County of Santa Clara), city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), and state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries).

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services in support of disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. A code showing this degree of functional mismatch warrants direct verification with the issuing body before pursuing — the taxonomy appears misaligned with procurement intent.
