This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer from left finger phalangeal 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 0RPX48Z

UNSPSC 85714303 Removal of spacer from left finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows limited relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code describes a highly specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical care networks—none of which involve finger phalangeal joint surgery or the percutaneous endoscopic approach named in the code. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Santa Clara County, Collier County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a county health system, reflecting a broad jurisdictional mix rather than a coherent procurement category.

Recent activity shows no solicitations actually seeking the orthopedic procedure the code nominally describes. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians across 14 ferry terminal locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a temporary staffing pool for ancillary health professionals including therapy, radiology, and surgical support (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all medical services taxonomy entry without alignment to the specific surgical procedure it names. Pursue this code only if your firm delivers occupational health surveillance, medical record review and summarization, or temporary clinical staffing; disregard the code's nominal orthopedic scope.
