UNSPSC 85712207: Insertion of spacer into left wrist joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0RHP08Z

UNSPSC 85712207 Insertion of spacer into left wrist joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal clinical scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code — spanning Phoenix retirement boards, Long Beach, Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System — solicit independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing services. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic wrist procedures, surgical implants, or the specific intervention the code describes, suggesting a systematic misclassification or use of the code as a catch-all for health services procurement.

The issuing bodies are predominantly county health systems and public agencies with employee or beneficiary populations — city retirement boards, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, juvenile justice authorities, and regional health networks. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Without opportunities genuinely aligned to wrist-joint-spacer insertion or orthopedic surgical supply procurement under this code, the category presents no actionable market signal for vendors in orthopedic device, surgical implant, or procedural support businesses. The code's current use in state and local procurement does not reflect its UNSPSC definition.
