UNSPSC 85694750: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right metacarpal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right 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 0PPP0KZ

UNSPSC 85694750 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right metacarpal, open approach is a Commodity code with no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure code from clinical taxonomy—does not align with the work state and local governments actually procure under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, surgical benefit programs through Centers of Excellence, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve tissue removal procedures or hand surgery. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in opportunity classification or a broader indexing problem between clinical procedure codes and actual procurement categories used by state and local buyers.

State and local procurement activity in the opportunities block reflects buying by city retirement offices, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal health plan administrators across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Because the code shows no genuine alignment with any of these solicitations, no representative opportunities can be identified and no market characterization is warranted. Practitioners evaluating this code should verify the intended UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
