UNSPSC 85695005: Repair left metacarpal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left metacarpal, 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 0PQQ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85695005 Repair left metacarpal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes surgical orthopedic repair, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not align with that scope. The most recent solicitations under this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or metacarpal repair. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the procurement systems posting these opportunities or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local agencies are tagging healthcare service contracts.

Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and what is actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing orthopedic repair services. The opportunities present — Muscogee County Prison's medical and pharmacy services RFP (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (posted April 9, 2026, with historical spending around $8.7 million annually), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care RFP (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's peer support pilot (posted February 25, 2026, budgeted at $580,000), and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director RFP (due October 16, 2025) — are healthcare administration and service delivery contracts, not surgical procedures. Vendors offering orthopedic surgical repair should verify code assignment before investing business development effort under this Commodity code.
