UNSPSC 85695212: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right finger phalanx, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right finger phalanx, 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 0PPT4KZ

UNSPSC 85695212 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right finger phalanx, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure code — and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational medical surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and health plan surgery benefits — none of which correspond to tissue removal procedures or hand surgery. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal human resources divisions (City of Long Beach). This mismatch suggests the code may be assigned by procurement offices without precise clinical or procedural mapping, or that the code's broader classification layer encompasses medical administration and benefit management services that fall under a surgical procedure taxonomy.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the most recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (RTMRFP26001); and the City of Long Beach requesting surgical benefit carve-out program management for its Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan with proposals due October 7, 2026 (HR26753). The code's current activity does not reflect procurement of the surgical procedure itself but rather administrative, clinical staffing, or benefit management services tangentially associated with medical care.
