UNSPSC 85694541: Repair left metacarpal, external 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 0PQQXZZ

UNSPSC 85694541 Repair left metacarpal, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five opportunities posted between February and April 2026 and tagged under this code — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — are clinical service delivery, benefits administration, and workforce support contracts unrelated to orthopedic surgical repair of metacarpal fractures. The code's nominal scope does not align with what state and local jurisdictions are actually buying under this classification.

The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the coding of these opportunities or a systemic misalignment between the code's definition and procurement practice in the jurisdictions represented. No state or local government solicitation in the source material requests surgical repair services, orthopedic implants, surgical instruments, or any commodity or service connected to metacarpal injury treatment. Vendors evaluating this code should flag the disconnect and verify coding accuracy with the issuing bodies before committing resources to track activity under it.
