UNSPSC 85695520 Reposition right carpal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure for repositioning carpal bones; however, state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with the code's clinical scope. Recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical roles, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve carpal repositioning or percutaneous orthopedic intervention. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human resources divisions (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office). This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal procedure-level scope; the mismatch suggests the code may have been applied as a default classification rather than reflecting the actual services being purchased.

Geographic spread across recent opportunities includes Arizona (Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara, Collier County), Washington (Washington State Ferries), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services including disability medical record summary preparation and scheduling of independent medical and psychiatric examinations (RFP, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations (RFP, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ HHS FY270052 for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, orthopedic support, and surgical/operating room services (RFQ, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work).
