UNSPSC 85714319: Removal of spacer from left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer 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 0RPV48Z

UNSPSC 85714319 Removal of spacer from left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not solicit that service; instead, they span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical networks through Centers of Excellence, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of a metacarpophalangeal joint spacer.

The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the breadth of health services actually being procured suggests either a data-tagging error or that the code serves as a catch-all for miscellaneous health services in some procurement systems. No recent opportunities directly solicit orthopedic surgical procedures or devices aligned with the code's nominal scope. Activity spans multiple states and issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California) — with no clear repeat buyer concentration. Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, responses due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, responses due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, responses due October 7, 2026). Given the lack of direct relevance between the code's stated procedure and the actual scope of recent solicitations, this code presents limited decision-making value for vendors focused on orthopedic surgery.
