This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right metacarpal with internal fixation device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85694672, Reposition right metacarpal with internal fixation device, open approach, is a Commodity code assigned to surgical procedure-specific medical services, but recent state and local contract activity under this code does not match the nominal scope. The posted opportunities instead reflect broader occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation coordination, employee benefit administration, pharmacy management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out network management — none of which align with orthopedic hand surgery. The code shows little relevant recent activity when measured against its stated clinical definition. The posting bodies soliciting under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara), county commissioners (Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county probation departments (Harris County), suggesting misclassification rather than unified procurement activity around the ostensible procedure.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix retirement board medical evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical benefits, Santa Clara temporary health staffing, Collier County pharmacy management), and Washington (state ferry occupational surveillance), with a single Texas posting (Harris County youth detention medical services). The most recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year contract), Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year base with up to five one-year renewal options), and County of Santa Clara Health System nonexclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code assignment appears to be a data-entry error; buyers pursuing state and local contracts here should verify the actual UNSPSC code before bidding strategy development.
