UNSPSC 85694669: Reposition left metacarpal with internal fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left metacarpal with internal fixation device, 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 0PSQ04Z

UNSPSC 85694669 Reposition left metacarpal with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure—repositioning and internal fixation of a left hand bone—but the recent solicitations tagged under this code actually span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional temporary staffing, surgical care networks, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these services involve metacarpal procedures or align with the procedural orthopedic scope the code name suggests.

The source shows no recent state and local opportunities actually procuring metacarpal repositioning services or related orthopedic surgical procedures under this code. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the medical-administration and staffing services appearing in the opportunity records indicates either systematic miscoding at the issuing-body level or that this code is inactive for state and local procurement purposes. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as dormant and verify whether relevant hand surgery or orthopedic procedure demand exists under alternate UNSPSC codes in the surgical or medical device families.
