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 0PSQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85694667 Reposition left metacarpal, open approach is a Commodity code with nominal scope in surgical orthopedic procedure codes, yet recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic or hand surgery work—instead they span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and specialty surgical carve-outs for employee health plans. The mismatch between the code's name and current procurement activity suggests this code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated surgical scope. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county boards of commissioners—a diverse public-sector mix—but the work being procured bears no consistent relationship to hand surgery or orthopedic repositioning.

Geographic activity covers Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office disability medical evaluation), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out, County of Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency medical services inquiry). Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for physician-led medical examinations across 14 Washington locations under a two-year term with extension options, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent disability medical evaluation and record summarization (due October 16, 2026) at $750,000 over five years. No procurement activity under this code aligns with its stated orthopedic surgical scope.
