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 0RQQXZZ

UNSPSC 85713008 Repair right carpal joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — orthopedic surgical repair of the wrist — does not align with the actual work state and local bodies are soliciting under this tag. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve carpal joint repair or orthopedic surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source systems or use of the code as a catch-all for medical services broadly.

Without opportunities genuinely aligned to carpal joint repair, this code does not present actionable procurement signal for orthopedic surgery contracting. Firms pursuing state and local work in occupational medicine, disability medical evaluation, surgical benefit networks, or health professional staffing may find the recent activity in those areas worth tracking — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), and County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) — but these represent medical administration and staffing, not surgery contracting. Monitor this code for recalibration or skip it if your focus is orthopedic services.
