UNSPSC 85714528: Drainage of right metacarpocarpal joint with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right metacarpocarpal joint with drainage device, 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 0R9S40Z

UNSPSC 85714528 Drainage of right metacarpocarpal joint with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope — a surgical procedure code for orthopedic joint drainage — and the state and local procurement activity actually posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation for pension disability determinations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve the specific surgical procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include state departments, county health systems, county human resources divisions, city retirement offices, and local public safety pension boards — a broad cross-section of state and local healthcare and benefits administration, but with no connection to the orthopedic surgical work the code nominally describes.

Geographic activity is dispersed across Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration in any single state. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-mapping error in the state and local procurement system — vendors pursuing work actually aligned with this code's surgical scope should search under orthopedic procedure codes and hospital surgical services categories rather than rely on UNSPSC 85714528.
