UNSPSC 85712769: Insertion of spacer into right wrist joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0RHN48Z

UNSPSC 85712769 Insertion of spacer into right wrist joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that exhibits no meaningful alignment between its nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the insertion of spacers into wrist joints. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, cities, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation and human resources divisions, and county health systems, representing a broad cross-section of state and local government infrastructure.

Geographic activity appears across Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida based on recent solicitations. A representative opportunity is the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001), due October 16, 2026, for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; another is the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825), due October 9, 2026, for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations, with evaluation weighted 40 percent on cost and 60 percent on non-cost factors. The code classification itself appears to be a data-entry or system-indexing error, as the substantive procurement activity bears no operational connection to the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes.
