UNSPSC 85714425: Insertion of spacer into left carpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into left carpal 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 0RHR48Z

UNSPSC 85714425 Insertion of spacer into left carpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code — independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — are administrative healthcare services, staffing arrangements, and benefit-plan management, none of which involve carpal joint spacer insertion or match the code's stated scope. The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this Commodity code is being misapplied by issuing bodies.

The opportunities span multiple state and local issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California) — but none of these opportunities align with orthopedic surgical procedures or device implantation. Without meaningful recent activity in the code's actual scope, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes and flag the classification discrepancy with their state and local procurement intelligence sources.
