UNSPSC 85714538: Destruction of right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right metacarpocarpal 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 0R5S4ZZ

UNSPSC 85714538 Destruction of right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs. State and local issuing bodies tagging opportunities to this code are city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county boards of commissioners seeking administrative, clinical staffing, and benefits-management services rather than the metacarpocarpal joint destruction procedure named in the code itself. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the operational and administrative scope of actual solicitations suggests either systematic misclassification or that this code has been repurposed within state and local procurement systems to capture a broader category of medical-related contracting than its UNSPSC definition supports.

Recent activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no jurisdiction appearing more than once. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and a response due date of October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with responses due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given the categorical mismatch between the code name and the actual work being procured, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms seeking state and local opportunities in the specific surgical procedure domain.
