This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in left carpal, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0PWN4JZ

UNSPSC 85695602 Revision of synthetic substitute in left carpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not match the medical and administrative services being solicited under it in the recent opportunities block. Instead, state and local bodies are posting RFPs and RFQs for occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical care carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth detention—none of which are surgical procedures or prosthetic implants. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or that the code is being used as a placeholder for broader medical services procurement when more appropriate medical-services codes should apply.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing-body types. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach solicited a surgical care carve-out program for employee health plans (due October 7, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); Collier County posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered dependents with estimated historical spending of $8.7 million annually (due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified-vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Given the weak substantive fit between the code's procedural name and the actual work being bought, firms should verify whether opportunities tagged under this code represent genuine procurement interest or system-tagging anomalies before committing business-development resources.
