UNSPSC 85695301: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left carpal, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left carpal, external 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 0PWNXKZ

UNSPSC 85695301 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left carpal, external approach (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity currently being solicited under this code. The recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC code involve occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which correspond to orthopedic tissue revision procedures or the clinical interventions the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual procurement reflects how state and local buying offices sometimes tag medical services contracts. Geographic posting activity appears concentrated in Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County), Washington (Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), though the miscoding limits confidence in whether this code represents genuine procurement demand or reflects a systematic tagging error across multiple jurisdictions. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) across 14 ferry locations, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Firms pursuing work under this code should verify with issuing bodies whether the actual scope aligns with their service offerings, given the apparent disconnect between the code definition and what is actually being purchased.
