UNSPSC 85691303: Removal of bone growth stimulator from upper bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of bone growth stimulator from upper bone, 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 0PPY4MZ

UNSPSC 85691303 Removal of bone growth stimulator from upper bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its stated scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for bone-growth-device removal; however, recent opportunities posted under this code reflect general medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy management, and temporary clinical staffing services—none of which involve bone-growth-device extraction or the percutaneous endoscopic surgical approach the code names. State and local issuers tagged these opportunities with the code despite clear subject-matter mismatch, suggesting either classification error in the underlying solicitation records or a taxonomic misalignment that renders the code unreliable for identifying orthopedic or spine-surgery procurement.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee health programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile detention health services (Harris County), county benefits administration (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities solicits surgical removal of bone-growth devices. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity and should not be relied upon to identify opportunities in orthopedic or spine surgery—prospecting under this code carries high risk of false-positive matching.
