This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in left carpal, percutaneous 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 0PWN3JZ

UNSPSC 85695502 Revision of synthetic substitute in left carpal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code showing a material mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under it. The code appears to describe a specific orthopedic surgical procedure (revision of a wrist implant via percutaneous technique), yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve synthetic wrist implants or carpal procedures. The issuing bodies span a city pension board (Phoenix), a municipal HR department (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county health coalition (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara, California). This breadth suggests the code assignment is administrative rather than clinically precise, and prospective vendors should verify with individual issuing bodies whether their specific clinical or administrative service aligns with procurement intent before pursuing.

The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, reflecting activity across multiple regions rather than concentration in any single state. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the mismatch between code definition and actual solicitation scope, vendors should treat this code with caution and rely on direct RFP review to confirm alignment with their service lines.
