UNSPSC 85712542: Excision of right wrist joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0RBN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85712542 Excision of right wrist joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code diverge sharply from procedure-specific purchasing. Instead, the opportunities reflect administrative and organizational healthcare services — independent medical evaluation coordination, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve procurement of wrist-joint excision procedures or their surgical inputs. State and local governments are not buying this specific procedure as a commodity; they are procuring broader healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit-management services under administrative codes that appear misaligned with the procedure nomenclature.

The issuing bodies in the recent block span diverse healthcare governance structures: Arizona's city retirement office (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), a California city (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division), a county juvenile detention health program (Harris County), a county health consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Geographic activity centers on Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be a data-tagging anomaly; no recent solicitation actually purchases surgical procedures or procedure-specific supplies, and prospecting on this code is unlikely to yield relevant contract opportunity signals.
