UNSPSC 85712314: Revision of internal fixation device in right 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 right 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 0RWN34Z

UNSPSC 85712314 (Revision of internal fixation device in right wrist joint, percutaneous approach), a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out networks — none of which involve internal fixation devices or wrist-joint revision procedures. State and local buyers appear to have applied this code as a catch-all for healthcare and medical services procurement rather than for the procedure-specific device or intervention it names. The issuing bodies include city retirement systems, county health agencies, state transportation departments, counties' human resources divisions, and county health systems — a broad mix typical of general healthcare administration and benefits procurement rather than orthopedic device or surgical services purchasing.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Washington (State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), indicating national dispersal across state capitals, county seats, and major municipalities. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) to support disability benefit determinations for public safety pensions; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Puget Sound ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually). The code demonstrates little recent activity directly tied to orthopedic device procurement or surgical procedure supply, suggesting either a misclassification in the state and local coding systems or that the code is rarely used for its nominal scope by these issuing bodies.
