UNSPSC 85694805: Extirpation of matter from left metacarpal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter 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 0PCQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85694805 Extirpation of matter from left metacarpal, open approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on hand bone, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County between July and September 2026—concern independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing services. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgery, hand procedures, or metacarpal intervention.

The mismatch suggests a cataloging error in the source data rather than a legitimate market signal under this code. Business development professionals pursuing state and local opportunities in occupational medicine, disability medical assessment, surgical benefit administration, or temporary clinical staffing should monitor those functional areas directly rather than rely on this UNSPSC code classification. Bidders reviewing opportunities tagged to this code should verify the actual scope of work before resource allocation.
