UNSPSC 85714500: Joints hand, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part E

This class includes one or more of 16 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the joints of the hand with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0R.

UNSPSC 85714500 Joints hand, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part E is a Class code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and state and local purchasing activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which relate to orthopedic hand joint procedures or percutaneous endoscopic surgical approaches. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical taxonomy definition and how state and local procurement offices are tagging health services contracts.

The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county juvenile justice agencies, and municipal human resources divisions across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026). Given the code's specialized surgical focus and the generalized healthcare contracting visible in recent postings, this code does not represent a meaningful procurement vehicle for firms seeking orthopedic or hand surgery supply or service opportunities at the state and local level.
