UNSPSC 85712717: Removal of spacer from right wrist joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer 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 0RPN48Z

UNSPSC 85712717 Removal of spacer from right wrist joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not map to state and local procurement activity reflected in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code classify administrative health services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve orthopedic joint surgery or removal of spacers. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code is used inconsistently across state and local procurement systems to capture a broader category of health service contracting that does not align with its formal procedure name.

The source records show no recent state and local contract opportunities for removal of spacer from right wrist joint or related orthopedic surgical services under this code. Procurement activity recorded under UNSPSC 85712717 addresses independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—work that falls outside orthopedic procedural scope and does not represent a viable market segment for firms focused on this specific surgical service line.
