UNSPSC 85712408 Removal of synthetic substitute from left wrist joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical-procedure clinical classification, yet state and local government solicitations posted under this code do not align with orthopedic surgical services. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, emergency and inpatient care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which address synthetic joint removal or wrist procedures. This mismatch indicates that the code shows little relevant recent activity for the orthopedic surgical work its name suggests.

The geographic spread of opportunities posted under this code includes Washington State (occupational medical surveillance for ferries workers), Arizona (disability retirement medical evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical carve-out benefit management and Santa Clara temporary health staffing), Texas (Harris County juvenile detention medical services), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit administration). Issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county health systems, city retirement offices, and county procurement divisions. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance with a proposal deadline of October 9, 2026, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a deadline of October 16, 2026. The source does not support a conclusion that this code is actively used for procurement of surgical procedures or orthopedic implant removal.
