This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right 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 0PPP3JZ

UNSPSC 85695033 Removal of synthetic substitute from right metacarpal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears to be a clinical procedural classification rather than a procurement category. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not align with the clinical procedure named in the code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement for occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve removal of synthetic substitutes from metacarpal bones or orthopedic implant procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity for procurement professionals seeking opportunities in this nominal service line; the opportunities posted under this code reflect what appears to be a tagging or classification mismatch in the source data.

Geographic activity spans multiple states including Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (WSDOT). Recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations ($750,000 maximum over five years, due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool (due October 7, 2026). The lack of orthopedic or surgical implant removal solicitations under this code indicates it may not be the appropriate classification for businesses pursuing work in those specialties.
