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 0PQN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85695529 Repair left carpal, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The five recent opportunities posted to the source span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve orthopedic surgical repair or percutaneous carpal procedures. The code appears to be a mislabeling in state and local procurement systems and does not reflect current buying patterns in any jurisdiction tracked by recent solicitations.

State and local agencies that have posted opportunities in the broader healthcare services space — Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) — are procuring comprehensive medical administration, benefit management, and clinical leadership services, not surgical repair. Without recent opportunities correctly tagged to this code or its comparable commodity alternatives, pursuing this UNSPSC category is not viable given the mismatch between the code's surgical focus and the healthcare-administration and clinical-service work actually being bought by state and local governments.
