This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right carpal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85713254 Replacement of right carpal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this classification span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve carpal joint replacement or any surgical implant procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual work being solicited indicates either systematic misclassification in the state and local procurement system or that this code does not meaningfully represent current buying patterns in state and local government.

The issuing bodies across the six recent opportunities span diverse jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, posted September 16, 2026 with a response deadline of October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 WSF locations, posted August 25, 2026 with responses due October 9, 2026; and Collier County's RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees, posted August 20, 2026 with a response deadline of April 9, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope.
