UNSPSC 85695041: Release left metacarpal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0PNQ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85695041 Release left metacarpal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with no documented recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal orthopedic surgical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted to state and local procurement systems under or near this code fall outside orthopedic procedure work entirely, spanning occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration (City of Long Beach), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), temporary health professional staffing qualification (County of Santa Clara Health System), specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), and unrelated health administration services. The code does not appear to be in active use as a procurement classification vehicle for state and local health agencies or municipal purchasing offices.

Recent opportunities that carry this code label reflect administrative, benefit management, and clinical staffing needs rather than orthopedic surgical procedures themselves. This mismatch signals either classification error in the source records or the code's use as a catch-all for health-service-adjacent spending in jurisdictions with limited UNSPSC taxonomy precision. Business development professionals evaluating this code should confirm with issuing bodies whether they intend orthopedic surgical procedure procurement—such as devices, implants, or surgical supplies—or whether procurement activity under this code designation has migrated to broader health services classifications. No geographic concentration, repeat buyer pattern, or representative orthopedic surgical opportunity emerges from the available data.
