UNSPSC 85712369: Reposition right wrist joint with external fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right wrist joint with external fixation device, 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 0RSN35Z

UNSPSC 85712369 Reposition right wrist joint with external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that carries a clinical procedure designation but shows substantial mismatch with the state and local procurement activity it is tagged to. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit wrist-joint surgical procedures or orthopedic device placements; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. State and local government issuing bodies using this code—including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are buying administrative and management services related to medical care delivery and benefit administration, not the specific orthopedic procedure named in the code.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida across multiple jurisdictions and issuing-body types. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry-system locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal orthopedic procedure scope; the mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source jurisdictions or use of the code as a catch-all for medical service categories.
