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 0RUP0JZ

UNSPSC 85712048 Supplement left wrist joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure — left wrist joint replacement using synthetic material via open surgical approach — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to orthopedic implants or surgical supplies. Instead, the solicitations tagged to this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programs for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these opportunities involve procurement of wrist joint implants, orthopedic devices, or surgical equipment. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the source system or a catalog misalignment between the code's intended scope and its actual use in state and local procurement practice.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and jurisdictions — Columbus Consolidated Government's Muscogee County Prison in Georgia (inmate medical services RFP due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida (pharmacy benefit management RFP), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners in Florida (virtual primary and urgent care RFP due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County Health in California (peer support for peer workers pilot RFP), and the Santa Monica Fire Department in California (medical director RFP). These solicitations reflect healthcare administration, behavioral health, and emergency services contracting rather than orthopedic device procurement. Without relevant recent opportunities for orthopedic implants or surgical supplies under this code, the code does not support a pursue decision for firms specializing in wrist joint replacements or related orthopedic implant distribution.
