UNSPSC 85694947: Supplement right metacarpal with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right metacarpal with synthetic substitute, percutaneous 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 0PUP3JZ

UNSPSC 85694947 Supplement right metacarpal with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its medical device or surgical procedure scope. The six most recent opportunities tagged under this code address independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic implants, hand surgery supplies, or the specific procedure the code nominally describes.

The mismatch suggests either taxonomy tagging error in the source system or that this Commodity code does not reflect current state and local procurement patterns. State and local buyers—including municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), city health plans (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county benefits programs (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System)—are actively procuring medical and health services, but not the hand surgery implant products or procedures this code is intended to capture. Unless these opportunities represent atypical classifications, the code warrants a skip pending clarification of actual buying activity in this category.
