UNSPSC 85695266: Excision of right metacarpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 0PBP4ZZ

UNSPSC 85695266 Excision of right metacarpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal relevance to state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve metacarpal excision or percutaneous endoscopic approaches. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in the underlying procurement records or that this code does not reflect how state and local agencies actually tag healthcare service solicitations.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunity block represent counties (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), but their work falls outside the code's stated scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested proposals for surgical and medical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Washington State Ferries sought occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physician services (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code does not support meaningful pursuit activity and warrants review for accuracy against the actual scope of work being procured.
