UNSPSC 85695422: Reposition right carpal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition 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 0PSM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85695422 Reposition right carpal, open approach is a Commodity code that shows negligible alignment with recent state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for orthopedic hand repositioning, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical procedure procurement. Instead, they span medical staffing, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, and surgical carve-out benefit networks for employee health plans—none of which constitute the procurement of carpal repositioning services or related orthopedic surgical interventions. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the scope of actual solicitations suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or application of the code to administrative health management services rather than surgical procedures.

Recent activity appears concentrated in administrative and occupational health services rather than operative procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries) solicited occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The City of Long Beach requested proposals for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), which addresses surgical care coordination rather than direct procurement of procedures. The geographic spread includes Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, with no clear concentration. The mismatch between code definition and solicitation scope indicates this code does not reliably identify state and local demand for hand surgery or related orthopedic surgical services.
