UNSPSC 85695510: Revision of internal fixation device in right carpal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device 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 0PWM34Z

UNSPSC 85695510 Revision of internal fixation device in right carpal, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure code — and the recent state and local contract activity the code has generated. The solicitations posted under this code reflect a broad mix of administrative health services, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary staffing placements rather than procurement of orthopedic devices or surgical procedure services. State and local buyers issuing under this code include county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), municipal agencies (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county health systems. The work actually being solicited spans independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention emergency medicine, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing for hospital systems.

Recent opportunities posted under the code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for municipal employees (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and 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 on August 31, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Issuing bodies represent mixed state and municipal procurement offices, with no single jurisdiction appearing more than once in the recent block. The code shows little thematic coherence — the UNSPSC classification appears to be a tagging error or a system artifact rather than a genuine alignment between the commodity code definition and the administrative and occupational health services state and local governments are actually buying under it.
