UNSPSC 85714430: Insertion of external fixation device into right carpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into 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 0RHQ45Z

UNSPSC 85714430, Insertion of external fixation device into right carpal joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—specifically orthopedic fixation of wrist-joint fractures—yet the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect a sharp disconnect: they solicit medical evaluation administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmaceutical benefit management, surgical procedure network carve-outs, and temporary clinical staffing services. None of these procurement activities involve procurement of external fixation devices, orthopedic supplies, or the surgical procedure itself. The mislabeling appears systematic across the opportunity block, suggesting either data-entry error or misalignment in the issuing agencies' UNSPSC classification processes.

Recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach soliciting surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for its PPO plan, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a temporary health professional staffing qualified vendor pool, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation's Ferries division requesting occupational medical surveillance, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners soliciting pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity for orthopedic devices or surgical supplies; state and local procurement professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC assignment before pursuing opportunities posted under this code.
