UNSPSC 85695444 Release right carpal, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal name does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source shows no solicitations for orthopedic surgical procedures or related medical devices. Instead, the recent opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal health plans, and emergency healthcare services for detained youth. These opportunities reflect administrative healthcare services, staffing, and benefits management — not surgical interventions on the carpals. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a code designation error in the source data.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county and regional health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability pension determinations for approximately 75 annual applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferries workers across 14 statewide locations (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). No hard contract values, set-asides, or performance data are disclosed in the source material. The code designation itself offers limited utility for business development in this category.
