UNSPSC 85695542: Release right carpal, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right carpal, 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 0PNM3ZZ

UNSPSC 85695542 Release right carpal, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The code's designation suggests it relates to a specific orthopedic surgical intervention, yet none of the six recent state and local opportunities sourced under this code tag involve carpal release procedures or percutaneous orthopedic intervention. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and independent medical examinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, surgical procedure carve-out networks (covering knee, hip, spine, and other procedures but not specifically carpal release), temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical roles, and emergency inpatient care for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's surgical procedure name and the medical administration, staffing, and benefits-management work being solicited suggests either coding error or that this UNSPSC category is not the appropriate tag for state and local procurement under it.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code tag span state agencies, counties, and municipal governments: the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance, RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluation services, RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical and medical procedure carve-out for employees, HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Recent activity appears in Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, though the code tag itself does not reflect the nature of work being acquired.
