UNSPSC 85713230: Reposition right carpal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right carpal joint, open 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 0RSQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85713230 "Reposition right carpal joint, open approach" is a Commodity code that sits at the surgical procedure level of medical taxonomy, yet the recent state and local contracting activity posted under this code shows no alignment with orthopedic surgical intervention. Instead, the solicitations tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence carve-outs for surgical procedures (not carpal joint repair specifically), and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or a broad state and local practice of applying procedure codes to administrative healthcare contracting that does not map to the procedural work the code nominally describes. State and local bodies posting under this code include municipal retirement offices, city employee benefits divisions, state transportation departments, county health systems, county probation departments, and county commissions managing employee health plans.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, response due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for Washington State Ferries employees across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, response due October 9, 2026). The City of Long Beach posted an RFP for Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs (HR26753, response due October 7, 2026). Santa Clara County Health System established a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, response due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent procurement activity that directly solicits carpal joint surgical repair services or related orthopedic implants, supplies, or operative support.
