UNSPSC 85695526: Replacement of right carpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of 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 0PRM3KZ

UNSPSC 85695526 Replacement of right carpal with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the medical services state and local governments are actually procuring under this tag. Recent opportunities solicited under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical care coordination, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgical implant procedures. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope (a specific surgical intervention with nonautologous tissue) and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged to it, suggesting either a data-integrity issue in the underlying opportunities database or systematic miscoding at the point of opportunity publication. The issuing bodies span state health agencies, county human resources and probation departments, city retirement offices, and county health systems.

The geographic spread includes California (Santa Clara County), Arizona (Phoenix), Florida (Collier County, Long Beach), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows recent activity but appears unsuitable for business development professionals seeking to bid on actual carpal replacement procedures or related orthopedic implant work.
