UNSPSC 85714472: Fusion of left carpal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left carpal joint with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0RGR47Z

UNSPSC 85714472 Fusion of left carpal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged to this code show no procurement activity aligned with orthopedic surgical procedures; instead, the code captures medical evaluation services, health plan benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, specialty pharmacy management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve surgical fusion or joint procedures. The mismatch between the code's surgical nomenclature and the actual procurement activity suggests this Commodity code either has been misapplied to administrative health services in state and local procurement systems or sees minimal use for its stated medical procedure scope.

The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span diverse issuing bodies — city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington), county juvenile justice (Harris County), county purchasing consortia (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County) — but none involve surgical procedures. Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, with scattered activity elsewhere. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, addressing disability benefit determinations), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026 for approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending). The code shows no apparent current value for firms pursuing orthopedic surgical contracting with state and local buyers.
