UNSPSC 85695259: Extirpation of matter from left metacarpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0PCQ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85695259 Extirpation of matter from left metacarpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this tag. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational health surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic procedures or percutaneous endoscopic approaches to the hand. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification misapplied to administrative and operational health services procurement. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include city pension boards, county health systems, county probation departments, state transportation agencies, and city employee benefits offices. The geographic spread includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County).

Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026 and a total maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an RFP (258414) for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services with a response deadline of April 9, 2026 covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members. Because this code shows no genuine recent activity aligned with its stated scope, procurement professionals should treat this tag as a data-quality issue and prioritize opportunities through health services, occupational medicine, or benefits administration codes that better reflect the actual work being bought.
