UNSPSC 85694823: Drainage of right metacarpal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 0P9P0ZZ

UNSPSC 85694823 Drainage of right metacarpal, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the posted opportunities tagged under it, which instead solicit independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, Centers of Excellence networks for surgical procedures, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. These opportunities relate to medical administration, care coordination, and staffing support rather than the operative drainage procedure the code names.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either erroneous code tagging by the issuing bodies or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices categorize healthcare services. The opportunities posted span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), with response dates ranging from September 2026 through April 2026. No bidder should pursue this code as currently tagged without first confirming with each issuing body whether the code assignment reflects actual procurement intent or represents a categorization error.
