UNSPSC 85713264 Repair right carpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code shows little meaningful alignment with its nominal scope. The code describes a specific surgical procedure on the wrist, yet the recent solicitations tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency/specialty care for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic wrist repair. The mismatch suggests either systematic tagging error or the code's use as a catch-all for broader healthcare procurement when more granular medical codes are unavailable. State and local buyers posting under this code include counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), and health systems.

Geographic activity concentrates in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, with the most recent opportunities spanning the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary staffing RFP (due October 7, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026). The code shows sufficient recent posting volume to warrant monitoring, but bidders should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities — the disconnect between the code's stated scope and the work actually solicited creates risk that proposals will be misdirected or evaluation will use the wrong capability filter.
