UNSPSC 85714176: Supplement right metacarpophalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right metacarpophalangeal joint with autologous tissue 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 0RUU47Z

UNSPSC 85714176 Supplement right metacarpophalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the surgical-procedure scope the code nominally names. The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect general medical services and staffing procurement — occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, and specialty surgical networks through Centers of Excellence — none of which involve orthopedic joint supplementation or tissue grafting. This mismatch signals that the code appears to be incorrectly applied to these opportunities or reflects a data-classification artifact; the opportunities themselves are legitimate state and local medical-services buys, but they do not correspond to the specific procedure the code describes.

Issuing bodies across these opportunities include a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and specialized pension boards. Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry service locations, Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026, though the date appears to be a data entry error relative to the posting date), and the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years). None of these opportunities involve the orthopedic joint procedure named in the code.
