This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left wrist joint with external fixation device, 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 0RGP05Z

UNSPSC 85712233 Fusion of left wrist joint with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical-procedural scope. The code's title refers to a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not align with procurement of that service or related implantable devices. Instead, the opportunities reflect medical administration and staffing contracting — independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out networks for government employee benefits — none of which involve fusion procedures or orthopedic implants.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span diverse jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Board's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, for disability benefit determinations at a contract value of $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be misaligned with its procedural title; vendors pursuing medical-service opportunities in state and local procurement should verify category alignment with the specific scope of work being solicited rather than relying on this code's nominal classification.
