UNSPSC 85713849 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left carpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a surgical procedure code used in clinical or medical billing taxonomies—does not align with the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this code designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve tissue substitute removal or wrist joint procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure description and the administrative and staffing services appearing in recent solicitations suggests the code may have been applied in error by issuing bodies or is being used to flag general medical procurement when more precise codes are unavailable.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara), Washington (state-level Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), issued by city retirement offices, county health systems, county procurement divisions, and state transportation departments between July and September 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at state ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). No procurement activity under this code targeting the procedure named in the code's taxonomy is evident from the source material.
