UNSPSC 85695122: Revision of synthetic substitute in left metacarpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in left metacarpal, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0PWQ4JZ

UNSPSC 85695122 Revision of synthetic substitute in left metacarpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical-procedure code name and the state and local opportunities recently posted under it. The opportunities instead span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth — a collection of healthcare administrative and staffing services rather than orthopedic surgical procedures. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county health systems, county governments, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, state ferries, and county juvenile probation agencies. The work being solicited ranges from occupational baseline and periodic medical examinations to independent disability medical record review and scheduling, specialty pharmacy network management, temporary clinical staffing, and hospital-based emergency care coordination. This code appears to be used inconsistently across jurisdictions and may not represent a coherent procurement category for state and local healthcare spending.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026 (due October 16) for independent medical evaluation services covering approximately 75 annual disability applications for public safety personnel, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted RFQ RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026 (due October 9) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians and a two-year base term with options to extend. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories through RFSQHHSFY270052 posted July 7, 2026 (due October 7), with no guaranteed volume or contract term. The mismatch between the code's ostensible scope and actual procurement activity suggests vendors should verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification.
