This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from left 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 0RPP03Z

UNSPSC 85712137 "Removal of infusion device from left wrist joint, open approach" is a Commodity code that reflects a clinical procedure classification, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal scope. The few recent solicitations tagged to this code are actually purchasing health services administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — not orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal. State and local governments do not typically procure individual surgical procedures as line-item commodities; instead, they contract for bundled healthcare services, medical staffing, or benefits administration that may encompass such procedures as components within broader service delivery. The issuing bodies include county health systems, municipal retirement boards, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county benefits offices — a mix reflecting demand across public employee health programs, occupational health compliance, and detention healthcare.

The geographic spread across recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's current tagging appears to be a data-quality issue rather than a meaningful procurement category for the orthopedic procedure it nominally describes — activity is too sparse and too misaligned to signal genuine buying intent under this specific code.
