UNSPSC 85714320: Removal of autologous tissue 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 autologous tissue 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 0RPV47Z

UNSPSC 85714320 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code appears to describe a specific surgical procedure on a single joint using a particular technique and material; however, the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not match this narrow clinical scope. Instead, the solicitations reflect demand for broader occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit management programs, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve autologous tissue removal or hand surgery procedures. The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach). These entities are acquiring medical administration, benefits management, and occupational health oversight rather than the specific orthopedic procedure the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations statewide (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's establishment of a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across multiple specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code exhibits a fundamental mismatch between its taxonomy definition and the work state and local governments are actually procuring under it—there is no signal of demand for surgical hand procedures themselves, only for administrative health services, occupational medicine compliance, benefit program management, and clinical staffing fill. Firms pursuing work under this code should verify the actual scope with issuing bodies before bid preparation.
