UNSPSC 85714318: Removal of synthetic substitute from left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left 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 0RPV4JZ

UNSPSC 85714318 Removal of synthetic substitute from left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent solicitations tagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which constitute removal of synthetic joint substitutes or percutaneous endoscopic joint procedures. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the underlying procurement data or a miscoding of these opportunities at source.

The recent opportunities show activity across multiple state and local issuing bodies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefit programs), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty care), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no concentration in a single region. Because the opportunities do not substantively match the code's stated scope, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing orthopedic device or surgical services procurement.
