UNSPSC 85695314: Repair right carpal, external approach

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

UNSPSC 85695314 Repair right carpal, external approach, a Commodity code, shows no alignment with recent state and local contract opportunities. The code nominates a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 address medical benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy management, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency youth detention healthcare—none involving carpal repair or direct surgical intervention on public employees or constituents.

The mismatch between code and solicitation content suggests either a classification error in the opportunities or dormancy in this particular procedural code at the state and local level. No recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity directly procures carpal repair services from state agencies, counties, cities, school districts, transit authorities, or special-purpose districts. Business development professionals should verify whether opportunities in this code tier are being tagged incorrectly upstream or whether carpal repair procurement—if pursued at all by public bodies—routes through different UNSPSC families related to physician services, occupational medicine contracts, or employee health benefit plans rather than discrete surgical procedures.
