UNSPSC 85694982: Replacement of right metacarpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right metacarpal with nonautologous tissue 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 0PRP3KZ

UNSPSC 85694982 Replacement of right metacarpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect general occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, surgical benefits carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with metacarpal replacement surgery or the specific clinical procedure the code names. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to broader health services procurement or reflects a classification error in the tagging of these opportunities.

The opportunities that appear under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension disability evaluation), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit program administration), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (inpatient and specialty care for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement of orthopedic devices or surgical procedures and instead flag the classification discrepancy with state procurement offices.
