UNSPSC 85695165: Reposition right metacarpal with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right metacarpal with external fixation device, 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 0PSP45Z

UNSPSC 85695165 Reposition right metacarpal with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its technical medical-procedure nomenclature and the actual state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical director contracts — none of which involve orthopedic hand surgery or external fixation devices. The code appears to be a data-classification mismatch rather than a meaningful procurement category for state and local government purchasing.

Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and posted opportunities, this code does not reliably signal orthopedic surgical services or implantable medical devices in state and local procurement. The five opportunities shown include issuing bodies spanning county corrections (Muscogee County, Georgia), county human resources and benefits administration (Collier County, Florida), county health insurance administration (Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health services (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire service (Santa Monica, California), with posting dates between February and April 2026 and response deadlines ranging from April through July 2026. However, none of these solicitations involve the orthopedic procedures or medical devices the code nominally describes. Firms evaluating this code should verify UNSPSC alignment with issuing bodies directly before investing in proposal pursuit, as the taxonomy assignment appears unreliable for targeting surgical implants or procedural services.
