UNSPSC 85673352 Repair right wrist bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying. The code's narrow clinical specification—a single surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the medical services and occupational health programs that recent state and local solicitations are pursuing under this tag.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span medical administration, benefits management, occupational surveillance, and temporary staffing services: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for its Anthem PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 state locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County is requesting pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members with historical annual drug spending around $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414, originally due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in thirteen ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physicians (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026).

The issuing bodies represent county health systems, municipal retirement and benefits offices, state transportation departments, and juvenile justice agencies. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The code shows a substantial mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and the administrative health services, benefits procurement, and workforce staffing that jurisdictions are actually buying—a signal that this code's application in state and local procurement does not align with its procedural and taxonomic intent.
