UNSPSC 85695506: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right carpal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right 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 0PWM3KZ

UNSPSC 85695506 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right carpal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, shows minimal activity directly aligned with surgical tissue revision. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, youth detention healthcare services, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which constitute orthopedic or hand surgery tissue substitute procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) seeks comprehensive disability record summarization and physician examinations for approximately 75 annual benefit applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, requiring board-licensed M.D. or D.O. examiners with five years' disability medical record experience. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) calls for physician-supervised baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry system locations, with a two-year term and optional five-year extension. Neither opportunity involves tissue revision or hand surgery repair.

The issuing bodies are mixed across state departments, county health systems, city retirement offices, and county probation departments spanning Arizona, Washington, Florida, and California. The code shows no clear geographic concentration and no repeat buyers under this specific code. The source material reflects a mismatch between the code's nominal scope—hand surgery tissue revision—and the work actually being procured under it, which centers on occupational health administration, benefits management, and disability medical evaluation rather than surgical procedures. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these administrative and occupational health services to an orthopedic surgery code in error. A vendor pursuing state and local opportunities in actual hand surgery implants, tissue substitutes, or surgical supplies should verify UNSPSC coding against specific RFP scope rather than rely on this code for relevant leads.
