UNSPSC 85714409: Insertion of spacer into left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0RHV48Z

UNSPSC 85714409 Insertion of spacer into left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code—including independent medical evaluation services for pension-disability determinations, surgery carve-out benefits management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve orthopedic joint procedures or implantable medical devices. The mismatch between the code's clinical description and the actual solicitations suggests that state and local procurement systems are applying this code to broader administrative, staffing, or benefit-management activities rather than to the specific surgical procedure it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions and administrative functions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension-disability evaluations), City of Long Beach (employee health benefits), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (detention medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy administration), and County of Santa Clara Health System (clinical staffing). Given the complete divergence between the code's orthopedic-procedure content and the administrative, benefits, and staffing services actually being solicited, the code does not represent a usable procurement signal for vendors specializing in surgical implants, orthopedic devices, or operative services.
