UNSPSC 85713852: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left carpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue 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 0RPR37Z

UNSPSC 85713852 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left carpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local contract opportunities show the code tagged to solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — work that bears no clinical relationship to the code's nominal scope of hand surgery. The mismatch between the code's stated definition and the actual procurement activity it is assigned to suggests that UNSPSC 85713852 reflects either a data-quality issue in state and local procurement systems or systematic miscoding of medical-services contracts. State and local governments soliciting under this code are issuing RFPs and RFQs for administrative, staffing, and network-management services in occupational health, pension disability determinations, employee benefit carve-outs, and emergency detention care — none of which involve surgical removal of tissue substitutes from carpal joints or any hand surgery procedure.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with posting dates from July through September 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation and disability record summarization services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity; vendors pursuing medical services should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies rather than relying on the code as currently assigned.
