UNSPSC 85712808: Fusion of right wrist joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right wrist joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0RGN4KZ

UNSPSC 85712808 Fusion of right wrist joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code in 2026 solicit occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic fusion procedures or tissue substitute implantation. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code is used inconsistently across state and local systems to tag health services more broadly. The opportunities show no vendor-selection activity, awarded contract values, or repeat geographic patterns tied to the surgical procedure itself.

The recent activity does reveal issuing bodies from multiple states and jurisdictions — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California) — but the work being solicited bears no substantive connection to the wrist fusion procedure named in the code. Practitioners evaluating this code for orthopedic implants or surgical services should recognize that state and local tagging under 85712808 is not reliable and that relevant opportunities in surgery, medical devices, and orthopedic services are likely filed under different codes. This code shows no actionable recent procurement opportunity stream aligned to its stated definition.
