UNSPSC 85694760: Release right metacarpal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0PNP0ZZ

UNSPSC 85694760 Release right metacarpal, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or metacarpal release procedures. The issuing bodies include county correctional facilities, county human resources and health benefits divisions, county boards of commissioners, county behavioral health departments, and municipal fire departments. The scope mismatch suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and the services actually being procured.

The recent activity spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government for Muscogee County Prison), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department). Representative solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, due May 15, 2026, with an annual contract value of approximately $95,537.71 monthly for medical services plus pass-through pharmacy costs; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, due April 9, 2026, with historical annual spending around $8.7 million; Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for 2,300 county members, due April 16, 2026; and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a Medical Director, due October 16, 2025. The code does not reflect orthopedic or surgical procurement activity and should not be relied upon for business development targeting in those specialties.
