UNSPSC 85714181: Supplement right metacarpocarpal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right metacarpocarpal 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 0RUS4JZ

UNSPSC 85714181 Supplement right metacarpocarpal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—supplementing the right metacarpocarpal joint with synthetic material via endoscopic technique—but the recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency care for detained youth. None of these solicitations match the orthopedic joint-replacement procedure the code describes. The mismatch suggests either persistent miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that jurisdictions are using this code incorrectly to flag health-related contracting broadly rather than for the specific implant or surgical service line the taxonomy intends.

State and local procurement bodies tagging activity to this code include Arizona's City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Representative recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The most recent example is Washington State Ferries' RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), a state-level solicitation requiring physician-led examinations across 14 ferry terminals. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services in support of public safety pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach released HR26753 requesting surgical benefit carve-out services managing Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, spine, and oncology procedures (due October 7, 2026). Because these opportunities do not reflect the procedure-specific scope of UNSPSC 85714181, interest in this code warrants verification that tagged future opportunities actually involve orthopedic implant procurement or surgical procedure contracting rather than broader health services administration.
