UNSPSC 85714800: Joints head, open approach-part B

This class includes one or more of 16 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the joints of the head with open 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 85714800 Joints head, open approach—Part B, a Class code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—medical procedures involving joint-head access—does not match the actual work being solicited under this classification in current state and local notices. Recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. These activities fall outside orthopedic surgical procedure scopes and suggest either systematic miscoding or that the code has been repurposed within individual jurisdictions' taxonomies to capture broader health services categories. The issuing bodies include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), large counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), indicating no concentration among particular jurisdiction types.

Geographic distribution spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida across the six recent notices posted between July and September 2026. Representative current opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (proposals due October 9, 2026), City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability pension determinations ($750,000 maximum over five years, due October 16, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award pool with no guaranteed volume). The code appears dormant for its nominal surgical purpose; firms should verify internal coding accuracy before pursuing work under this classification.
