UNSPSC 85712101: Replacement of left wrist joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left wrist joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0RRP0KZ

UNSPSC 85712101 Replacement of left wrist joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which involve orthopedic joint replacement or surgical implantation. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual work state and local buyers are soliciting suggests either a classification error in the underlying opportunity data or that this code receives limited direct use in state and local procurement.

The recent opportunities that do appear under this code originate from geographically dispersed issuing bodies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out networks), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). No recent opportunities directly solicit orthopedic implants, joint replacement devices, or surgical procedure supplies. The code merits review for re-classification or data validation rather than active pursuit under its current taxonomy alignment.
