UNSPSC 85695631: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left carpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from 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 0PPN4KZ

UNSPSC 85695631, Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left carpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical Center of Excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the procedural code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either miscategorization in the source data or that the code is not being actively solicited by state and local buyers for its intended medical service. State and local issuers posting under this code have included municipal retirement boards, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile probation departments, but the actual work being purchased does not correspond to tissue-substitute removal procedures.

Geographic spread encompasses Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the opportunities posted are administrative or staffing services rather than surgical procedures. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be a poor fit for actual state and local buying activity and warrants verification before committing pursuit resources.
