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 0RNR0ZZ

UNSPSC 85713371 Release left carpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local government procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — a specific orthopedic intervention — yet the six recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026 show no state or local buyers purchasing this or related surgical procedures as discrete line items. The opportunities span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), disability medical evaluations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out management (City of Long Beach), pharmacy benefit administration (Collier County), temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System), and medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). None involve procurement of surgical procedures themselves or request pricing, scheduling, or provider credentials aligned with a specific procedure code.

This code shows little relevant recent activity. The mismatch between the procedure-level UNSPSC classification and the actual scope of state and local opportunities suggests either that surgical procedures are not commoditized in state and local procurement under this taxonomy, or that the recent record does not capture relevant activity. State and local buyers appear to purchase surgical services as bundled benefits, managed-care components, or provider networks rather than as discrete procedure codes. Vendors pursuing opportunities in the medical and surgical services space should monitor codes at the Family or Class level (such as occupational health management or benefit administration families) rather than discrete procedure Commodity codes.
