UNSPSC 85714469: Fusion of left carpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of 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 0RGR4ZZ

UNSPSC 85714469 Fusion of left carpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that reflects a misalignment between its clinical procedure name and the state and local procurement activity it has captured. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or carpal joint fusion services; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employees and retirees. The code shows no state or local solicitations for the specific procedure named—fusion of the left carpal joint via percutaneous endoscopic approach—in the recent opportunities block. This mismatch indicates either a data-classification error or an artifact of how state and local procurement systems have applied the UNSPSC taxonomy to health services and benefits administration activities that do not map to the code's intended scope.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County in Texas, Collier County in Florida, Santa Clara County in California), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations with a two-year term and five optional one-year extensions; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, valued at $750,000 over five years for disability benefit determinations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code appears to capture health services procurement more broadly rather than orthopedic surgical procedures, making it unsuitable as a search criterion for firms pursuing surgical-device or orthopedic-procedure-related state and local contracts.
