UNSPSC 85713362: Removal of internal fixation device from right carpal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device 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 0RPQ04Z

UNSPSC 85713362 (Removal of internal fixation device from right carpal joint, open approach) is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this taxonomy marker. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, employee surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures on the wrist. The code appears to be a data-classification artifact rather than an active procurement category; state and local healthcare purchasing under this UNSPSC designation does not center on carpal joint surgery removal.

State and local governments show no recent relevant activity under this Commodity code. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth of healthcare-administration and staffing services tagged to it suggests either a classification error in the source records or a code applied to procurement opportunities outside its intended scope. Firms evaluating pursuit under this code should verify the accuracy of the UNSPSC assignment with the issuing body before committing bid resources.
