UNSPSC 85695435: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left carpal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from left 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 0PPN07Z

UNSPSC 85695435, Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left carpal, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code targets a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—removal of tissue graft from the wrist via open surgical technique—yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency youth detention healthcare services. None of these solicitations involve removal of autologous tissue substitutes or wrist surgery directly. This mismatch suggests either systematic code-tagging misalignment in the state and local procurement system or that the code has been repurposed to encompass broader healthcare services procurement outside its original clinical definition.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of Commissioners), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit medical record reviews and physician examinations for approximately 75 annual applications at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians; the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) offering Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, spine, heart, and oncology procedures; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code exhibits little relevant recent procurement activity tied to its stated orthopedic surgical scope.
