UNSPSC 85695425: Replacement of left carpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left 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 0PRN0KZ

UNSPSC 85695425 Replacement of left carpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code reflect medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing—none involving orthopedic surgical procedures or implant-related work. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual solicitations indicates either a classification error in the source data or administrative tagging that does not reflect procurement substance.

The issuing bodies span municipal and county health authorities: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (employee surgical benefits), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medicine), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention emergency services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic concentration includes Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Because the code appears to be misapplied to these opportunities, the solicitations do not represent a viable procurement category for orthopedic medical device or surgical implant vendors; firms pursuing state and local contracts in this space should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
