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 0PQN0ZZ

UNSPSC 85695431 Repair left carpal, open approach is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — orthopedic surgical repair of the carpal bones via open surgical approach — does not align with the six recent opportunities tagged under this classification. The tagged solicitations instead address occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), disability medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix), surgical care network management (City of Long Beach), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System), emergency and inpatient medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and independent medical examinations for retirement determinations. None of these services constitute carpal repair procedures or orthopedic surgical work.

The mismatch between the code's defined scope and actual procurement activity reflects either miscoding at the issuing level or a systematic classification error in the source data. State and local procurement professionals seeking carpal repair contracting or orthopedic surgical services should not rely on this code for opportunity identification. A vendor evaluation should verify the correct UNSPSC classification through direct contact with issuing procurement offices or request clarification on the taxonomy assignment before pursuing activity under this code.
