UNSPSC 85712716: Removal of synthetic substitute from right wrist joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right 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 0RPN4JZ

UNSPSC 85712716 Removal of synthetic substitute from right wrist joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code name refers to a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations — issued by the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — are buying occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. None of these opportunities involves orthopedic joint surgery or synthetic joint implants. The code does not reflect the work being transacted; recent activity across state departments, county health systems, county human resources divisions, and municipal retirement boards centers on medical and administrative services procurement rather than orthopedic surgical procedures.

The geographic spread of recent postings is limited and scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single state or region. The most developed recent opportunity is the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026, seeking comprehensive disability medical record summary preparation and scheduling of independent medical and psychiatric examinations for public safety personnel retirement determinations, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The mismatch between the code's orthopedic-procedure name and the administrative, occupational health, and benefit-management services actually being solicited suggests that this code may be incorrectly tagged in the state and local procurement systems or has drifted significantly from its intended taxonomy use.
