UNSPSC 85713357: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right carpal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right 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 0RPQ0KZ

UNSPSC 85713357 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right carpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue removal; instead, they reflect health services administration, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit management, emergency medical care for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which map to the code's stated scope of surgical intervention. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the opportunity posting or a systemic tagging misalignment that limits the utility of this code for tracking procurement of the specialized services it nominally describes.

The geographic spread of the six recent opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), with no single jurisdiction dominating. The issuing bodies are mixed: state departments, counties, cities, and health system authorities. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (scope: disability medical record review and physician examination coordination for approximately 75 annual pension benefit determinations; maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 (scope: baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations for four personnel categories across 14 ferry system locations); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026 (scope: non-exclusive, qualified vendor pool for 13 ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, and surgical support, with no guaranteed work). The code shows no recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition and little decision-relevant value for business development targeting state and local procurement of the surgical procedure removal services its name describes.
