UNSPSC 85712416 Removal of synthetic substitute from right wrist joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that in practice does not align with state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not match the health services and medical management work actually being solicited by state and local bodies. Recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit program administration—none of which constitute the targeted procedural intervention the code names.

The recent-opportunities block shows activity from Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), City of Phoenix (independent medical disability evaluations), City of Long Beach (surgical center-of-excellence carve-out program), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The code shows no meaningful volume and the mismatch between the procedural-code name and actual procurement signals that this code is either misapplied by issuing bodies or carries negligible real-world significance for business development in state and local government contracting.
