This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left carpal 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 0RUR4JZ

UNSPSC 85714184 Supplement left carpal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedural taxonomy designation and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, emergency medical services for youth in custody, surgical procedure carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve orthopedic joint replacement procedures. This mismatch suggests the code has been applied to state and local health-procurement activity in a manner disconnected from its specific clinical meaning, or represents a data-classification artifact rather than a meaningful purchasing category.

The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee health programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county procurement divisions (Collier County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. 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-system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summarization and independent medical evaluations due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. No aspect of these solicitations—each focused on administrative healthcare services, staffing networks, or occupational health programs—relates to joint-replacement surgery. This code should be treated as a poor targeting indicator for orthopedic device or surgical-procedure vendors; activity here does not reflect a genuine market for the service the code nominally describes.
