UNSPSC 85711847: Reposition left wrist joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition 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 0RSPXZZ

UNSPSC 85711847 Reposition left wrist joint, external approach is a Commodity code that represents a specific surgical procedure classification; however, recent state and local procurement activity does not align with orthopedic surgical intervention. Instead, the code appears in the sourced opportunities as a mislabeled catch-all for medical and health services procurement across multiple domains. The actual work being solicited under this code's recent opportunities spans independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for state transportation workers, surgical benefits carve-out program administration for municipal employees, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal human resources divisions—a fragmented buyer base with no clear repeat purchaser across the opportunities.

Recent activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001) due October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for police and fire pension boards, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825) due October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations statewide, with physician qualifications and regulatory compliance as core requirements. The City of Long Beach posted an RFP (HR26753) due October 7, 2026 for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees, with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the diverse healthcare administration and staffing services actually being solicited signals that this code sees little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its definition.
