This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right wrist joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85712050 Supplement right wrist joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes orthopedic joint-replacement surgical procedures, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas—predominantly solicit medical evaluation, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs rather than wrist joint implants or orthopedic devices themselves. None of the opportunities name procurement of joint prosthetics, surgical implants, or related hardware. The mismatch between the code's device-focused scope and the service-heavy opportunities suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing jurisdictions or that this Commodity code does not reflect current state and local medical procurement patterns.

The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara County), county human resources and benefits divisions (Collier County, Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and county juvenile justice departments (Harris County), with no repeat buyer appearing across the sample. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the substantial divergence between the code's named scope and the opportunities listed, firms pursuing state and local orthopedic implant or device sales should verify code assignment before bid-opportunity qualification.
