UNSPSC 85713929: Insertion of spacer into right carpal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0RHQ38Z

UNSPSC 85713929 Insertion of spacer into right carpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it show no procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope of orthopedic surgical procedure coding. The opportunities instead reflect substantial purchasing by state and local health systems, pension boards, and county governments for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out networks, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve carpal joint spacer insertion or related orthopedic implant procurement. The mismatch between code assignment and actual work being solicited suggests either systematic coding misclassification or that this code receives minimal relevant activity in state and local procurement.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington State, and Texas, issued by the Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services, proposals due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs, proposals due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, proposals due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, responses due September 25, 2026), Collier County, Florida (RFP for pharmacy benefit management, proposals due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System (qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing, proposals due October 7, 2026). No opportunities reflect procurement of carpal joint spacers, orthopedic implants, or related surgical supplies or devices.
