UNSPSC 85714340: Removal of drainage device from left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from left metacarpocarpal 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 0RPT40Z

UNSPSC 85714340 Removal of drainage device from left metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent solicitations posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or drainage device removal. The code appears to be a misclassification, as state and local procurement offices typically do not directly solicit for specific surgical procedures through public competitive bidding. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being bought suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging system or a fundamental scope misalignment in how this code has been applied.

The few opportunities posted under this code span multiple issuing bodies and geographies with no meaningful concentration. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RFP, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach sought a surgical benefit carve-out program (RFP, due October 7, 2026); Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance (RFP, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty medical services (due September 25, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management (RFP, due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System posted a temporary health professional staffing vehicle (RFP, due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of procurement activity that actually matches the code's stated scope, this code presents no relevant opportunity pipeline for business development focus.
