UNSPSC 85712236: Fusion of right wrist joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right wrist joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0RGN0KZ

UNSPSC 85712236 "Fusion of right wrist joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this tag. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care network carve-outs, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic fusion procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging anomaly in the procurement system or a misalignment between the UNSPSC classification and the operational categorization used by issuing bodies. The opportunities themselves are substantially diverse and do not cluster around a single service family, making the code unreliable as a targeting vehicle for business development focused on orthopedic surgery or related clinical services.

Issuing bodies include counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (posted September 16, 2026, due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (posted August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with extension options), and the Collier County RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (posted August 20, 2026, due April 9, 2026, three-year initial term covering approximately $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spending). Given the code's poor alignment with the posted solicitations, this classification should be treated as a search artifact rather than a reliable market indicator.
