UNSPSC 85713850: Removal of synthetic substitute from left carpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left carpal joint, 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 0RPR3JZ

UNSPSC 85713850 Removal of synthetic substitute from left carpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic joint implant removal or carpal joint procedures. The mismatch indicates either classification error in the source data or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and actual procurement practice at the issuing bodies.

State and local governments show no recent procurement activity specifically targeting orthopedic carpal joint implant removal services under this code. The opportunities visible in the record span Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police pension boards), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State (ferries), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), but none solicit orthopedic surgical implant services. This code should be flagged as showing little relevant recent activity for business development purposes.
