UNSPSC 85695507: Revision of synthetic substitute in right carpal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic 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 0PWM3JZ

UNSPSC 85695507 Revision of synthetic substitute in right carpal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal taxonomy entry describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows no genuine alignment with that clinical descriptor. The code appears to be a data misclassification artifact; state and local governments have not posted opportunities under this code that match orthopedic implant or carpal revision work. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span medical-evaluation services (disability pension benefit assessments), occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare coordination, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic devices or surgical procedures.

Given the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual opportunities attached to it, this code shows little decision-relevant procurement activity for vendors focused on orthopedic implants, surgical device supply, or carpal-tunnel-related medical devices. The issuing bodies represented (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara Health System) are procuring administrative healthcare services, benefit management, occupational health programs, and staffing — work that does not fall within orthopedic device supply or surgical procedure delivery. Procurement professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities under this code.
