UNSPSC 85714228: Repair right metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair right metacarpophalangeal 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 0RQU4ZZ

UNSPSC 85714228 Repair right metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities solicited under this classification do not involve orthopedic repair services; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans. The mismatch suggests this code is either misapplied in source systems or captures administrative and contracting frameworks surrounding medical services rather than the clinical procedures the code name implies.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Recent solicitations from August through October 2026 include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 locations, the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability pension determinations at $750,000 over five years, and the County of Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026) spanning audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and other ancillary clinical roles. Geographic activity concentrates in Washington, California, Arizona, and Florida. Given the disconnect between the code's clinical scope and the administrative and staffing services actually being procured, this code does not represent a coherent business opportunity for vendors targeting orthopedic surgical repair or related clinical services.
