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 0RQRXZZ

UNSPSC 85713007 Repair left carpal joint, external approach is a Commodity code that describes surgical repair procedures on the wrist. However, the recent state and local procurement opportunities posted under this code do not align with orthopedic surgical services. Instead, they reflect health-related administrative, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and clinical staffing services—functions entirely outside the scope of carpal joint repair work. The code shows a clear mismatch between its nominal taxonomy definition and what state and local issuing bodies are actually soliciting under it in practice.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice agencies, county procurement offices, and city human resources departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks independent medical evaluation services and disability medical record summarization for public safety pension applicants, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) procures occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations; Santa Clara County Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing including audiology, radiology, and surgical operating room support (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and the City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for surgical procedure carve-out and Center of Excellence benefits management for its Anthem PPO plan (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). This code does not represent a meaningful procurement opportunity for orthopedic surgical repair services.
