UNSPSC 85712011 Revision of spacer in right wrist joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's medical-procedure title does not match the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve orthopedic joint revision or surgical procedures on wrist anatomy. The issuing bodies include county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county boards of commissioners, and county probation departments, suggesting the code may be misapplied across diverse healthcare administration and occupational health contexts rather than reflecting surgical procedure procurement.

Geographic spread across recent opportunities includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052). The consistent mismatch between code and scope suggests vendors should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to this Commodity.
