UNSPSC 85713686: Supplement right carpal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right carpal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 0RUQ3KZ

UNSPSC 85713686, Supplement right carpal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not map to actual state and local government procurement activity in the recent opportunities sourced. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — supplementation of the right wrist joint using synthetic or donor tissue inserted through a minimally invasive approach — yet the six recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve procurement of surgical implants, procedure-specific medical devices, or orthopedic joint repair services. The mismatch between code and sourced work indicates that this UNSPSC Commodity code sees little or no relevant recent state and local procurement activity.

State and local issuers appear to have tagged health-related services and benefits management under this code erroneously. The recent activity is concentrated among municipal, county, and regional health systems (Phoenix, Long Beach, Harris County, Washington State Ferries, Santa Clara County, and Collier County) seeking managed-care services, medical staffing, and occupational health programs rather than medical devices or implants. No activity directly related to joint supplementation procedures, surgical implants, or nonautologous tissue products appears in the sourced opportunities. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local medical device or implant procurement purposes and verify categorization with procurement contacts before investing pursuit resources.
