UNSPSC 85694542: Repair right metacarpal, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair right 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 0PQPXZZ

UNSPSC 85694542 Repair right metacarpal, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities tagged with this code in the source are comprehensive healthcare services procurements — inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which map to orthopedic hand surgery or metacarpal fracture repair. The code appears to be either miscoded by issuing bodies or reflects inconsistent taxonomy application across jurisdictions, making it an unreliable indicator of actual state and local demand for this specific orthopedic service.

No state and local government procurement activity for repair of the right metacarpal appears in current solicitations. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the posted opportunities suggests that vendors in hand surgery or orthopedic repair should not rely on this code to track relevant market activity. Use of alternative UNSPSC taxonomy or direct monitoring of healthcare services and surgical procedure codes at the family or class level may yield more actionable signals for this service line.
