UNSPSC 85712536: Extirpation of matter from right wrist joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter 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 0RCN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85712536 Extirpation of matter from right wrist joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under recent state and local procurement activity. The source shows no relevant medical-device, surgical-supply, or procedure-related opportunities aligned with the code's nominal scope. Instead, the five recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance services, pension-disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve wrist-joint surgical procedures or the procurement of implants or surgical instruments for such procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities were tagged to the code or that the code is not an appropriate classifier for state and local health-services procurement in this opportunity set.

The actual solicitations posted in the past two months target state departments, counties, and municipal health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the most recent activity concentrated in California (Santa Clara County, Long Beach) and Washington State. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Given the code-to-activity mismatch, pursuit of opportunities tagged to this code warrants verification of the correct UNSPSC classification before bid strategy development.
