UNSPSC 85695600: Short bones hand, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This class includes one or more of 17 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the short bones of the hand with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0P.

UNSPSC 85695600 Short bones hand, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Class code with minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on hand bones via percutaneous endoscopic technique, but the recent opportunities posted under this code cover institutional healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve the surgical intervention the code names. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities with an orthopedic procedure code despite soliciting comprehensive medical service contracts and clinical support programs, creating a significant mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual work being bought.

The recent opportunities span Florida (Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management Services, RFP 25-8414 with a due date of April 9, 2026, covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members; Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care services RFP628 due April 16, 2026, for roughly 2,300 county members), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, due May 15, 2026, for approximately 576 inmates), California (San Mateo County Health peer support services totaling $580,000 over three years), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department medical director RFP posted February 25, 2026). Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, consolidated city-county governments, and municipal fire departments. The code shows no meaningful activity aligned with its stated orthopedic surgical content and should not be pursued as a representation of actual state and local buying patterns in hand surgery or percutaneous procedures.
