UNSPSC 85712263 Extirpation of matter from left wrist joint, open approach is a Commodity code whose designation does not align with the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged to it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — the removal of foreign material or diseased tissue from a wrist joint through an open surgical approach — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and Centers of Excellence networks for elective surgical procedures. None of these solicitations concern orthopedic wrist surgery or procurement of surgical services matching the code's procedural scope. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement systems or that this code is being used by state and local issuing bodies as a catch-all for health service delivery more broadly, rather than as a specific surgical procedure code.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county jurisdictions (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), spread across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting public safety pension disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation for occupational medical surveillance services across ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multi-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's procedural specificity and the absence of recent opportunities actually soliciting orthopedic wrist surgery services, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local surgical procedure contracts.
