UNSPSC 85694646: Supplement right metacarpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right metacarpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 0PUP0KZ

UNSPSC 85694646 Supplement right metacarpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure — implantation of a synthetic or donated tissue graft to repair or replace the right metacarpal bone. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code, however, show a fundamental mismatch: they solicit occupational health services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, pension disability medical evaluations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue implants. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The few procurement records tagged to this code span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington and originate from city retirement offices, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, and county health systems — but they uniformly address administrative health services, occupational medicine surveillance, specialty pharmacy networks, and temporary staffing capability rather than surgical implants or tissue substitutes. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) solicits occupational medical surveillance; and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) seeks temporary staffing in ancillary clinical categories including audiology, imaging, and therapy services. This code does not appear to reflect genuine procurement activity in orthopedic surgery or tissue substitutes at the state and local level.
