UNSPSC 85713879: Inspection of left carpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of 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 0RJR3ZZ

UNSPSC 85713879 Inspection of left carpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — inspection of the wrist joint via a minimally invasive approach — yet the six state and local opportunities tagged to this code over the past three months solicited medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involves wrist joint inspection procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the state and local procurement system or that this code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for diverse healthcare procurement rather than as a specific procedure descriptor. State and local governments do not appear to be sourcing orthopedic diagnostic procedures under this code; the recent activity reflects broader healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits management contracting by county and city purchasing offices, a health system, and a state transportation department.

No representative procurement activity directly related to the code's stated scope — inspection of left carpal joint procedures — appears in the recent opportunities. The tagged solicitations span Phoenix's pension boards seeking disability medical evaluation services (RFP, due October 16, 2026), Long Beach's orthopedic and surgical carve-out program for employees (RFP, due October 7, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (RFP, due October 9, 2026), Harris County's emergency medical services for detained youth (RFI, due September 25, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management program covering 4,800 members (RFP, due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System's temporary ancillary health professional staffing pool (RFP, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida. Given the absence of relevant recent solicitations and the clear misalignment between the code's descriptor and actual buying patterns, this code appears inactive for its stated purpose.
