UNSPSC 85714445: Fusion of left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of 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 0RGV4ZZ

UNSPSC 85714445 Fusion of left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with orthopedic joint fusion work — instead, they span disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employees, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. This fundamental mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the actual opportunities suggests either systematic miscoding in the posting systems or that the code is being used as a catchall for healthcare administration and staffing contracts unrelated to procedural work.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners' offices (Collier County), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations due October 9, 2026 with a two-year initial term and optional five-year extension; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Absent alignment between the code name and the work actually being purchased, this code does not represent a viable procurement category for surgical procedure vendors.
