This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic 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 0RPQ0JZ

UNSPSC 85713358 Removal of synthetic substitute from right carpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or carpal joint work; instead, they span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these activities align with removal of joint prosthetics or synthetic materials. The code mismatch suggests either a tagging error by issuing bodies or that this specific orthopedic procedure code is not actively procured through state and local channels at the frequency typical of mainstream health services codes.

The recent opportunities that appear in the dataset come from diverse issuing bodies across different states and service lines: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations, RFP due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations, RFP due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out for Centers of Excellence, RFP due October 7, 2026), Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool across 13 ancillary categories, RFP due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026), and Collier County (pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 dependents, RFP due April 9, 2026 with historical spend near $8.7 million annually). Procurement activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida. Given the consistent mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure title and the work actually being solicited, this code warrants close examination before pursuit—either the code assignment is incorrect or the procedure itself sees minimal state and local government demand relative to the broader health services market.
