UNSPSC 85714362: Removal of internal fixation device from right carpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device 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 0RPQ44Z

UNSPSC 85714362 Removal of internal fixation device from right carpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities actually posted under this code. The solicitations present a mismatch: the code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the opportunities tagged to it cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities request removal of internal fixation devices or percutaneous endoscopic procedures on carpal joints. The code shows little relevant recent activity in the state and local procurement market as of mid-October 2026.

The opportunities that do appear under this code reflect broader health services administration and clinical staffing rather than orthopedic surgical procedures. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county retirement boards (City of Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Police Pension Board, Collier County), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single region. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic exams across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001) due October 16, 2026, requesting disability medical record summary and physician examination coordination for pension applicants; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool due October 7, 2026, spanning 13 ancillary clinical specialties. The code assignment appears to reflect data-entry or taxonomy-tagging error rather than genuine procurement demand for the procedure it nominally describes.
