UNSPSC 85695408: Revision of autologous tissue substitute in right carpal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of autologous tissue substitute in right carpal, open 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 0PWM07Z

UNSPSC 85695408 Revision of autologous tissue substitute in right carpal, open approach (Commodity) shows limited relevance to state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on hand cartilage tissue; however, recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These opportunities span administrative health services, benefits management, and clinical staffing—none of which align with the surgical procedure the code describes. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and their component agencies (pension boards, health systems). No single buyer appears across multiple opportunities; activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington.

The mismatch between code scope and procurement activity signals that this code does not reliably capture state and local buying patterns in healthcare administration or clinical services. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026 for a $750,000 five-year contract), the City of Long Beach's surgical carve-out benefit RFP (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification RFP (due October 7, 2026). These solicitations target vendors capable of clinical administration, occupational health oversight, medical record management, and staffing coordination—capabilities orthogonal to the surgical procedure encoded in 85695408. For business development purposes, this code warrants review for mislabeling rather than active pursuit under its nominal scope.
