UNSPSC 85695414: Supplement right carpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right carpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0PUM0KZ

UNSPSC 85695414 Supplement right carpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with orthopedic surgical implants or tissue-based medical products. Instead, the opportunities reflect a significant disconnect: state and local governments are using this code to solicit occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. The code's abstract name does not match the work being bought in practice. No recent opportunities solicit surgical implants, carpal tunnel repair supplies, or tissue substitutes of any kind.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Activity is concentrated in Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferries system locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026 with a $750,000 maximum contract value over five years), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's vendor pool qualification for temporary health professional staffing in thirteen ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). This code shows little relevant recent activity for firms offering surgical implants or orthopedic tissue substitutes and should not be relied upon for procurement planning in that commodity space.
