UNSPSC 85712469: Insertion of spacer into right wrist joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0RHN38Z

UNSPSC 85712469 Insertion of spacer into right wrist joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this designation. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic device insertion or percutaneous wrist procedures. The mismatch indicates either a classification error in the underlying procurement database or that this code is used inconsistently across state and local issuing bodies to tag health services generally rather than the specific procedure the code name describes.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with no standout repeat buyers among the six recent solicitations. Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, reflecting no regional concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation seeking occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFQ, due October 7, 2026). Until the underlying procurement database reclassifies these health services opportunities to their correct UNSPSC codes, this Commodity code produces limited actionable market intelligence for firms pursuing orthopedic device or surgical procedure work.
