This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 0R5R0ZZ

UNSPSC 85713586 Destruction of left carpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its clinical procedure taxonomy label and the state and local contracting activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities record no direct procurement of carpal joint destruction surgical procedures; instead, the code has been applied to solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, disability benefits evaluation, employee health plan surgery carve-outs, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. None of these services involves surgical destruction of a carpal joint. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the medical administration, staffing, and health-plan management services state and local jurisdictions are actually buying under this tag.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and cities: the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the County of Santa Clara Health System, and Collier County Board of County Commissioners. Recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure Centers of Excellence networks (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Ferries RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the Santa Clara County Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity centers on California, Washington, Arizona, and Florida, with no clear concentration in a single state.
