UNSPSC 85713256: Replacement of right carpal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right carpal joint with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0RRQ07Z

UNSPSC 85713256 Replacement of right carpal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing placement, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency services for detained youth — none of which involve carpal joint replacement or autologous tissue implantation. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this medical procedure code to a range of health services contracting where the code's procedural specificity does not match the work being bought.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include a city retirement board (City of Phoenix), a municipal health department (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice authority (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), a county government (Collier County), and a county health system (County of Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, RFP, due October 16, 2026) covering medical record summaries and disability examination coordination for approximately 75 annual applications at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, RFP, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational physicians; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, RFP, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity and the mismatch between its nominal scope and the actual work being contracted suggests either systematic miscoding or minimal state and local procurement use of this specific orthopedic procedure commodity.
