UNSPSC 85713980: Fusion of right carpal joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right carpal joint with internal fixation device, 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 0RGQ34Z

UNSPSC 85713980 Fusion of right carpal joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure involving orthopedic fixation of the wrist joint; recent state and local solicitations posted under this code do not match its clinical scope and instead reflect health professional staffing, medical evaluation administration, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, and surgical care network management. None of the opportunities in the posted record involve procurement of orthopedic devices, surgical implants, or procedure-specific medical products. The issuing bodies across the recent postings include a city retirement office (Phoenix), two municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), and a county commissioners office (Collier County) — a broad cross-section of health-purchasing jurisdictions, but none soliciting products or services consistent with the code's nominal definition.

Recent activity shows requests for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), occupational medical surveillance for state ferries employees across fourteen Washington locations (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026), surgical-specialty carve-out benefit management for municipal employees (City of Long Beach, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and temporary ancillary clinical staffing across multiple health professional categories (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's orthopedic-device scope and the administrative, staffing, and benefit-management nature of posted solicitations indicates that this code receives infrequent or misaligned tagging in state and local procurement systems and does not represent a reliable signal for opportunities in orthopedic device supply or implantable medical product contracting at the state and local level.
