UNSPSC 85714401: Insertion of spacer into left finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0RHX48Z

UNSPSC 85714401 Insertion of spacer into left finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the scope of work currently being solicited by state and local governments in the recent-opportunities record. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code are pursuing independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve insertion of finger joint spacers or match the procedural specificity the code name implies.

The mismatch suggests that this code is either misapplied in state and local procurement systems or is being used as a placeholder category for broader health services purchasing that does not actually track the specific procedure named in the code. The underlying activity—driven by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System—centers on managing medical claims, administering occupational health programs, and staffing ancillary clinical roles. A firm pursuing opportunities tagged under this code should expect to encounter medical administration, benefits management, and temporary staffing solicitations rather than the orthopedic surgical services the code name describes. No relevant recent activity exists for the stated procedure itself.
