UNSPSC 85695514: Supplement right carpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right 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 0PUM3KZ

UNSPSC 85695514 Supplement right carpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its orthopaedic surgical procedure scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical benefit administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which represent carpal supplementation or orthopaedic surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific surgical implant procedure) and the medical administration, staffing, and pharmacy services being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code has been repurposed to capture healthcare services procurement more broadly in these issuing bodies.

The opportunities identified span multiple issuing bodies and geographies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Response dates cluster in early October 2026, with the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, and the Santa Clara temporary staffing qualification RFP due October 7, 2026. Given the systematic mismatch between the code definition and actual solicitation content, firms should verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under 85695514 — the code appears to generate false positives in state and local procurement searches rather than signal genuine market demand for carpal implant procedures.
