UNSPSC 85695503: Revision of autologous tissue substitute in left carpal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of autologous tissue 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 0PWN37Z

UNSPSC 85695503 Revision of autologous tissue substitute in left carpal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure on hand tissue—does not match the medical services being solicited in the recent opportunities posted under this classification.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations concern autologous tissue revision or hand surgery procedures. This disconnect suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems or significant drift between the code's intended scope and how it is being applied in practice. The Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary staffing), City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record review), City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefits), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty care) represent a geographically and functionally diverse set of issuing bodies, but their work bears no clear relationship to the procedure named in the code. Practitioners should verify the correct code classification before committing resources to opportunities under this designation.
