UNSPSC 85712418: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right wrist joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from 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 0RPN37Z

UNSPSC 85712418 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right wrist joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — extraction of previously implanted autologous tissue from a wrist joint — yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve removal of autologous wrist tissue or related orthopedic procedures. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is being repurposed in practice to capture broader health services procurement; in either case, the code does not reliably signal procurement demand for the specific procedural service it nominally describes.

The mismatch between code and opportunity content makes this code an unreliable lens for targeting state and local business development. Issuing bodies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington have posted opportunities under this code over the past three months, ranging from $750,000 to $8.7 million in annual spend, but the services required — benefits administration, staffing pools, medical record management, and facility-based clinical support — fall outside orthopedic surgery supply or procedural support. No representative opportunity in this block is actionable under the code's stated definition.
