UNSPSC 85712106 Replacement of right wrist joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that exhibits minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures, tissue substitutes, or wrist joint replacement services. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the scope of recent solicitations suggests that this code is either misapplied to these opportunities or sees little substantive activity aligned with its stated definition.

The issuing bodies across the recent postings include state health departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments and health systems (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and specialized authorities (Phoenix Retirement Office). Geographic activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 with a $750,000 maximum contract value over five years; and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026. The code appears to be a tagging artifact rather than a signal of genuine market demand for the specific procedure named.
