UNSPSC 85694746: Removal of synthetic substitute from left metacarpal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left metacarpal, 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 0PPQ0JZ

UNSPSC 85694746 Removal of synthetic substitute from left metacarpal, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure on the hand, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, and youth detention healthcare services. These solicitations have no connection to hand surgery or orthopedic procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or use of the code as a placeholder for broader healthcare and medical services categories that do not align with the code's surgical-procedure scope.

State and local bodies issuing under this code tag include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county human resources and health departments (Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach), and county health systems (Santa Clara). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code does not reflect genuine procurement patterns in orthopedic or hand surgery; readers should verify coding accuracy before pursuing activity under this classification.
