UNSPSC 85712010 Revision of synthetic substitute in right wrist joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedures, yet the six most recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve wrist joint revision surgery or the direct procurement of surgical implants or operative services. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities with an anatomically specific procedure code when the actual work involves health benefits administration, medical staffing, or occupational health programs rather than orthopedic implant procurement or surgical services delivery.

Activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, and Washington, with single opportunities from Florida and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs with proposals due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a multiple-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual recent opportunities, this code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for state and local orthopedic surgery or implant vendors at this time.
