UNSPSC 85712709 Removal of spacer from left wrist joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with a nominal description that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The source shows no solicitations for orthopedic surgical procedures or device removals matching the code's stated scope. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety disability benefits, pharmacy benefit management services, temporary health professional staffing for clinical ancillary positions, surgical benefit carve-out programs through centers of excellence, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These represent administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing procurement rather than the procedural surgery named in the code definition. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). The mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the health-services and benefits-administration work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by the source jurisdictions or that this code does not see meaningful state and local procurement activity for its stated commodity.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Phoenix Retirement Office is procuring independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services with a two-year initial term and options to extend five additional years (due October 9, 2026); Collier County is seeking pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled members (proposals were due April 9, 2026); Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis with a five-year list duration (due October 7, 2026); Long Beach is requesting proposals for surgical benefit carve-out programs through centers of excellence (due October 7, 2026); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated orthopedic procedure scope.
