UNSPSC 85712806: Fusion of left wrist joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left wrist joint with internal fixation device, 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 0RGP44Z

UNSPSC 85712806 Fusion of left wrist joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no relevance to orthopedic surgical procedures or medical device implants. The solicitations tagged to this code instead cover occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the wrist fusion procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding issue in the source data or that the code is being applied as a catch-all for health services procurement rather than as a specific procedure identifier.

The issuing bodies reflect a mix of county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county commissioners' procurement divisions, and public safety pension boards across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual cases; the City of Long Beach's October 7, 2026 RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services through Centers of Excellence (HR26753); and the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825). Given the pervasive disconnect between the code's stated scope and the actual procurement activity, this code merits careful review before pursuit — clarification of the intended commodity classification from the relevant procurement office is advisable to confirm alignment with your firm's capability.
