UNSPSC 85695511: Supplement left carpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left carpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0PUN3KZ

UNSPSC 85695511, Supplement left carpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach (Commodity), does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—orthopaedic carpal repair using non-autologous tissue via percutaneous technique—yet the recent opportunities sourced under this code are administrative, occupational health, and benefits management services bearing no relation to surgical intervention or tissue substitution.

The six most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP due October 16, 2026), surgical procedure carve-out benefit program management (City of Long Beach, RFP due October 7, 2026), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP due October 9, 2026), emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in detention (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI due September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP due April 9, 2026), and temporary health professional staffing qualifications (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFP due October 7, 2026). These represent misclassification by issuing agencies rather than legitimate procurement activity under the code's scope. State and local governments do not appear to be procuring carpal surgical procedures through competitive solicitation; instead, procurement officers have incorrectly tagged benefits administration, staffing, and occupational health services to an orthopaedic procedure code. The code shows no relevant recent activity and should not be pursued based on the evidence available.
