UNSPSC 85712066: Resection of right wrist joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right wrist joint, open 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 0RTN0ZZ

UNSPSC 85712066 Resection of right wrist joint, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this classification—covering independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve orthopedic wrist surgery or related surgical interventions. The mismatch suggests that the code assignment does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited.

The geographic spread across recent postings spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county departments. The September 2026 opportunities closing in early October (Phoenix on October 16; Long Beach on October 7; Washington State Ferries on October 9) represent the most active recent window. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's surgical title and the health administration and staffing services actually being procured, firms evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuit.
