UNSPSC 85694983: Replacement of right metacarpal with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of 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 0PRP3JZ

UNSPSC 85694983 Replacement of right metacarpal with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity with minimal relevance to the code's nominal clinical-procedure scope. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic implant procurement or surgical replacement services; instead, they span occupational and public-sector health services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the source opportunities or that this code is not actively used for state and local procurement of the implant or surgical service it nominally describes.

The recent posting activity under this code reflects health-service procurement by public agencies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefit management, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation for Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance services, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, cities, and health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. None of these opportunities involve procurement of orthopedic implants or surgical procedures matching the code's stated scope, indicating limited or misaligned use of this code in current state and local contracting activity.
