This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from right carpal joint, open approach.

UNSPSC 85713363 Removal of infusion device from right carpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, shows no alignment with the actual work being procured under this code designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention health services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are broad healthcare administration and staffing services entirely unrelated to orthopedic surgical procedure coding. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code as a catch-all or administrative classification rather than as a descriptor of the specific surgical intervention the code nominally names. No recent opportunities reflect procurement of carpal joint infusion device removal procedures or related orthopedic surgical services.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the issuing bodies' actual buying patterns suggests this code tier may not be operationally useful for tracking state and local surgical services procurement. Opportunities are scattered across diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix, the City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System—with no concentration of repeat buying or geographic focus. Business development professionals should not rely on this code to identify surgical services opportunities; the code appears to be a data quality issue rather than a meaningful procurement category for state and local government activity.
