UNSPSC 85711806: Revision of internal fixation device in left wrist joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left wrist joint, external 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 0RWPX4Z

UNSPSC 85711806 Revision of internal fixation device in left wrist joint, external approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities sourced. The code appears designed for a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — revision of a left wrist internal fixation device via external surgical approach — yet the state and local solicitations tagged under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing placement. None of these services involve wrist joint device revision or the internal fixation procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the state or local source level or a fundamental divergence between the code's clinical scope and how procurement platforms are tagging health-related services contracts.

No recent state and local procurement activity directly reflects the orthopedic implant revision services specified in UNSPSC 85711806. Solicitations in the sample include City of Phoenix (disability medical evaluations, RFP through October 16, 2026), City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out network coordination, RFP through October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance, RFP through October 9, 2026), Harris County (youth detention medical services, RFI through September 25, 2026), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management, RFP through April 9, 2026), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing, RFP through October 7, 2026). Vendors evaluating this code should confirm whether the Commodity designation remains active for orthopedic device revision procurement or whether state and local bodies have repurposed it for broader health services contracting; the evidence suggests the code shows little meaningful activity aligned to its stated scope.
