UNSPSC 85712715 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right wrist joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its medical procedure taxonomy designation and the state and local opportunities currently tagged to it. The recent solicitations posted under this code do not involve orthopedic or hand surgery services; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, surgery benefit carve-outs, and independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards. The code's narrow focus on a specific surgical removal procedure does not match the scope of any of these opportunities, suggesting either a systematic tagging error or an outlier category assignment that does not reflect actual state and local procurement under this designation.

State and local buyers posting under this code include county health systems, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, pension boards, and county juvenile justice agencies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent opportunities named the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations, RFP due October 16, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, RFP due October 7, 2026), City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefit program for employees and retirees, RFP due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026). The code does not represent a coherent procurement category at the state and local level and warrants investigation for potential reclassification.
