This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from 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 0PPM0KZ

UNSPSC 85695438 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right carpal, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under this code's nominal scope. State and local opportunities recently posted to this code do not involve surgical tissue removal procedures; instead, they cluster around occupational health medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the specific orthopedic surgical procedure the code describes. The mismatch between the code's technical specification and the work actually tagged to it suggests either a classification error in the source data or a broader tagging pattern that does not reflect genuine procurement need under this Commodity.

No state and local solicitations in the recent-opportunities block are pursuing the removal of nonautologous tissue substitutes or related carpal procedures. The source includes six posted opportunities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but each addresses a distinct service line unrelated to surgical implant removal—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out networks (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty care for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara). Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for current state and local procurement purposes.
