UNSPSC 85714405: Insertion of spacer into right 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 right 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 0RHW48Z

UNSPSC 85714405 Insertion of spacer into right finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope in state and local procurement. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 under this code tag medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic joint spacer implants or percutaneous endoscopic surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of healthcare service contracts or an artifact in how these jurisdictions classify healthcare procurement in their systems.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county human resources departments (Collier County), county health systems (Santa Clara), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal governments (Long Beach), and juvenile justice authorities (Harris County), with geographic activity spanning California, Arizona, Washington, and Texas. The actual work being solicited comprises occupational health examinations, pharmacy administration, surgical specialty networks, independent disability evaluations, and temporary clinical staffing — all administrative or non-procedural healthcare services. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record review and scheduling of examinations for approximately 75 annual applications under $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) offering Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, spine, and oncology procedures; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring baseline and periodic physician-led examinations. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch in active use rather than a genuine procurement category for orthopedic implant procedures in state and local contracting.
