UNSPSC 85712713: Removal of infusion device from left wrist joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from left wrist joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0RPP43Z

UNSPSC 85712713 Removal of infusion device from left wrist joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure for device removal—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this code. The six recent solicitations tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing for a county health system. None of these opportunities involve the removal of infusion devices or percutaneous endoscopic procedures on the wrist joint. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or a significant divergence between the code's intended scope and how jurisdictions are actually applying it.

The recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), indicating no concentration in any single region. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and county procurement offices—a broad range of public sector functions with no single repeat buyer. Given the apparent mismatch between code definition and procurement practice, this code warrants careful verification before pursuing opportunities tagged to it; the code may not be the appropriate classification for medical services, device management, or staffing work that jurisdictions are actually soliciting.
