UNSPSC 85711930: Release right wrist joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right 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 0RNNXZZ

UNSPSC 85711930 Release right wrist joint, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—bears no material connection to the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The six most recent solicitations indexed to this code involve occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), disability medical evaluations for public-safety pension determinations (Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out networks (Long Beach), emergency and specialty care for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations procure orthopedic surgical intervention or the specific anatomical procedure the code nominates. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this UNSPSC code has been repurposed locally to bracket a broader family of medical evaluation and service-delivery activities. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting wrist-joint release surgery under this code in any meaningful recent volume.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single jurisdiction repeating. Issuing bodies span county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris), county benefits administration (Collier), city retirement offices (Phoenix), city employee health programs (Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington). The only representative opportunities with substantive scope are the Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), the Long Beach surgical carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026, targeting Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures), and the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, across 14 ferry terminals). The code shows little relevant procurement activity aligned to its stated definition.
