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

UNSPSC 85713255 Replacement of right carpal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local government purchasing activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect procurement for occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical care networks—none of which involve carpal joint replacement implants or related surgical supplies. The mismatch indicates that either the code was applied incorrectly by issuing bodies or the code's taxonomy does not reflect how state and local procurement offices actually categorize healthcare services and benefits administration work.

Recent activity under this code shows minimal relevance to the code's stated scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach sought a surgical procedure carve-out and Centers of Excellence program for its PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with $8.7 million in historical annual spend (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations procure orthopedic implants, medical devices, or surgical equipment. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before committing time to opportunities tagged under this code.
