UNSPSC 85712306: Revision of internal fixation device in left wrist joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left wrist joint, percutaneous 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 0RWP34Z

UNSPSC 85712306, Revision of internal fixation device in left wrist joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with actual recent state and local procurement activity under this designation. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six most recent opportunities posted under it encompass independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employees, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations involve wrist joint revision procedures or internal fixation devices. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement system or that this code is being applied as a catch-all for medical service procurement when more specific healthcare service codes would be more appropriate.

Recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Florida (Collier County), with issuing bodies ranging from city retirement offices and health systems to county procurement divisions and state transportation departments. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) covering approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) across 14 Washington ferry system locations. The code shows no relevant recent activity for procurement of orthopedic implants or surgical devices.
