UNSPSC 85714359: Removal of spacer from right carpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer from right carpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0RPQ48Z

UNSPSC 85714359 Removal of spacer from right carpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under this code. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — removal of a carpal joint spacer via endoscopic technique — yet the most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations concern health plan administration, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing services, not the procurement of surgical procedure services or related supplies. The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual buying patterns suggests either data-entry error in code assignment or that this Commodity code is not actively used for state and local procurement at present.

The source records no recent state and local solicitations for the surgical procedure described by the code itself. Entities including the Washington State Department of Transportation, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and the County of Santa Clara Health System have posted opportunities, but none seek carpal joint surgical services or endoscopic orthopedic supplies. Business development professionals evaluating pursuit under this code should verify the correct UNSPSC assignment for their service line and monitor whether future activity emerges under this specific Commodity code or related orthopedic surgery taxonomy.
