UNSPSC 85712503: Fusion of left wrist joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left wrist joint with synthetic substitute, 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 0RGP3JZ

UNSPSC 85712503 Fusion of left wrist joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a surgical procedure code for orthopedic implant placement—does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code shows no recent solicitations for actual surgical procedures, implants, or operative services matching the code's medical description. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code involve medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit program administration—none of which constitute the procedure itself or the implant materials the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the underlying procurement system or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for health services unrelated to wrist arthrodesis.

The six recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington state, issued by a city retirement office, municipalities, a county health system, a county juvenile probation department, a state department of transportation, and a county board of commissioners. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753) for a surgical benefit carve-out program serving approximately 3,800 employees, due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026; and the Collier County RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members with historical annual spending of $8.7 million, originally due April 9, 2026. The code's recent activity does not reflect procurement of the medical procedure or device it nominally describes.
