UNSPSC 85695641: Release left carpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0PNN4ZZ

UNSPSC 85695641 Release left carpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with surgical procedure provision. Instead, the solicitations reflect a broad mix of occupational health, employee benefits administration, and medical staffing services being procured by municipalities, counties, and special-purpose districts. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, the City of Long Beach is soliciting a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for employee health plans, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is conducting an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, Collier County is requesting pharmacy benefit management services, Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, and the City of Long Beach is seeking management of Centers of Excellence networks for bundled payment models. This indicates a code-to-opportunity mismatch: the code's procedural title does not reflect the administrative, occupational health, benefits management, and staffing services actually being purchased under its designation.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies limited to local government (cities, counties, health systems, and special-purpose districts) and state departments. 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 with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows limited relevant recent activity, and procurement professionals should verify actual scope alignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
