UNSPSC 85694717: Replacement of right metacarpal with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right metacarpal with synthetic 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 0PRP0JZ

UNSPSC 85694717, Replacement of right metacarpal with synthetic substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure for hand reconstruction; however, recent opportunities tagged under this code do not align with that clinical specification and instead reflect health services administration, occupational medical screening, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve metacarpal implants or orthopedic surgical supplies.

The mismatch between the code's name and actual procurement use suggests this Commodity code may be incorrectly applied by issuing bodies or misaligned with operational demand for hand surgery implants in state and local healthcare settings. Entities soliciting under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara), county boards of commissioners (Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), and county probation departments (Harris County). The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no apparent concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. No recent solicitations explicitly procure metacarpal implants, orthopedic surgical devices, or related hand-surgery supplies. Business development professionals should verify whether this code is the appropriate vehicle for medical device and implant sales to state and local healthcare purchasers; if it is, the current activity level is minimal and warrants close monitoring for future demand signals rather than active pursuit at present.
