UNSPSC 85712270, Excision of right wrist joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — orthopedic excision of the right wrist joint via open surgical approach — yet the five recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgery, wrist joint excision, or surgical procedures of any kind. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a systematic tagging error in the source data.

The opportunities that are posted reflect a broader healthcare contracting activity across state and local jurisdictions, with recent RFPs from Muscogee County Prison (Georgia) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, Collier County (Florida) for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, Monroe County (Florida) for virtual primary and urgent care services, San Mateo County (California) for peer support services for peer workers, and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) for fire department medical direction. However, none of these represent purchasing under the surgical-procedure scope that the UNSPSC code nominally covers. The code does not show evidence of recent state and local procurement for orthopedic surgical services or wrist joint procedures.
