This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer from left 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 0RPR08Z

UNSPSC 85713351 Removal of spacer from left carpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect general medical services contracting—occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical center-of-excellence networks for municipal employee plans. None of these solicitations involve carpal joint spacer removal or orthopedic implant procurement. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to administrative and benefit-management services rather than the procedural intervention it nominally names.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include state health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System), county government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), city government (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (up to $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (multiple categories, proposals due October 7, 2026). The code does not currently reflect procurement of orthopedic implants, surgical supplies, or procedure-specific medical devices in state and local markets.
