UNSPSC 85695042: Release right metacarpal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0PNP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85695042 Release right metacarpal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal clinical scope. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 involve independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which correspond to orthopedic surgical procedures on the metacarpal bones. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by state and local procurement offices or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and actual buying activity in this category.

The issuing bodies in the recent sample span city pension boards (Phoenix), municipal human resources offices (Long Beach), state departments of transportation (Washington State Ferries), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county benefits administration (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara), with geographic activity in Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Without relevant recent opportunities directly aligned to orthopedic hand surgery services or supplies, no representative solicitation examples support a pursue decision under this code for traditional metacarpal release procedures or related surgical products.
