UNSPSC 85713861: Removal of external fixation device from right carpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from right 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 0RPQ35Z

UNSPSC 85713861 Removal of external fixation device from right carpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with that scope. Instead, the sourced opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs for employee health plans, and temporary clinical staffing. None of these activities involve removal of external fixation devices or orthopedic surgery procurement. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or that this specific Commodity code is not being actively solicited as written.

The representative opportunities that do appear—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance procurement (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's surgical center-of-excellence carve-out for its employee health plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing vendor pool (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—span state transportation agencies, county health systems, municipal retirement offices, and large-city employee-benefit programs across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. No issuing body appears more than once in the recent block. Because the posted opportunities do not substantively match the orthopedic surgical procedure described in the code name, this code warrants skipping unless your firm is actively tracking state and local health-benefit or occupational-health-services procurements misfiled under orthopedic UNSPSC codes.
