UNSPSC 85695143: Supplement left metacarpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left metacarpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0PUQ4KZ

UNSPSC 85695143 Supplement left metacarpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — orthopedic surgical procedure specifications — does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations reflect municipal retirement systems, city health benefit programs, state transportation agencies, county juvenile detention authorities, and county health systems — a disparate mix of public entities procuring health services administration and staffing rather than orthopedic surgical interventions or implant materials. The code assignment does not reflect what these issuers actually need.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit applications for approximately 75 applicants annually under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program serving approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees enrolled in the city's health plan. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, solicited occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) across 14 ferry terminals statewide, with a two-year initial term and optional five-year extension. The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local procurement in orthopedic medical device, implant, or surgical services; the mismatch between code assignment and actual scope warrants clarification with issuing bodies before pursuit.
