UNSPSC 85712140: Removal of synthetic substitute from right wrist joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from 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 0RPN0JZ

UNSPSC 85712140, Removal of synthetic substitute from right wrist joint, open approach (Commodity), does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local opportunities. The recent procurement record shows little relevant activity: a medical surveillance and occupational health examination RFP from Washington State Ferries, independent medical evaluation services from Phoenix's pension boards, a surgical benefits carve-out from Long Beach, a pharmacy benefit management RFP from Collier County, emergency and specialty medical services from Harris County Juvenile Probation, and temporary health professional staffing from Santa Clara County Health System. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgery, prosthetic joint replacement, or the specific procedure the code nominally describes. The code appears misaligned with actual state and local procurement activity in the available record.

No representative opportunities matching the code's stated scope are present in the source material. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies directly, as the gap between code definition and recent solicitation activity suggests either a data classification error or a code with minimal current state and local procurement demand.
