UNSPSC 85713972 Fusion of left carpal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code assigned to surgical procedure codes, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with its nominal scope. The six opportunities tagged with this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, pension system disability medical evaluations, and specialty surgical carve-out networks — none of which involve carpal joint fusion procedures or orthopedic surgery specific to the wrist. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or use of this code as a catch-all placeholder for health-services contracting that does not match the code's surgical specificity. No recent opportunities in the source material describe carpal joint fusion services, autologous tissue substitutes, or percutaneous surgical procedures matching the code's definition.

Issuing bodies posting under this code include county health systems, county pension boards, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice agencies, and municipalities with defined-contribution health plans. Geographic distribution spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation and Ferries), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The opportunities posted between July and September 2026 range from single health-services RFPs to multi-award vendor pools; the most recent are the City of Phoenix's October 16, 2026 deadline for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001), the City of Long Beach's October 7, 2026 deadline for surgical procedure carve-out networks (RFP HR26753), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 (RFP RFP20260825). Given the code's apparent misapplication to health-services procurement generally rather than orthopedic surgery, pursue opportunities only after confirming the actual work scope aligns with your firm's service line.
