This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right glenoid cavity, open 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 0PP704Z

UNSPSC 85691536 Removal of internal fixation device from right glenoid cavity, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement purposes. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not procure surgical procedures themselves. Instead, the tagged opportunities solicit independent medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out administration (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). These solicitations target administrative, staffing, and managed-care services rather than removal of internal fixation devices or related orthopedic procedures.

The mismatch between the code's scope and the recent opportunities suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this particular Commodity code is not actively used by state and local governments for direct procurement. No state or local agency in the recent-opportunities block is soliciting orthopedic surgical procedures, surgical supplies, or implantable devices under this code. Business development professionals evaluating activity under this code should verify the accuracy of the tagging in their procurement database or consulting source, as the current records do not reflect a functioning market for the coded service.
