UNSPSC 85691734: Removal of internal fixation device from right glenoid cavity, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right glenoid cavity, 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 0PP744Z

UNSPSC 85691734 Removal of internal fixation device from right glenoid cavity, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its medical procedure classification. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit management, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic implant removal or surgical device extraction. The code's nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure code from the medical/dental taxonomy) does not match the actual work state and local governments are buying under this tag.

The mismatch reflects a common classification gap in state and local procurement systems: jurisdictions frequently misapply medical-procedure taxonomy codes to broader health services contracts. The opportunities posted carry no indication that any issuing body is procuring orthopedic surgical services, device-removal procedures, or related clinical supplies under this code. No recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB solicitation in the source dataset addresses the procedure the code nominally describes. Unless state and local procurement offices begin correctly tagging surgical-services opportunities to this code, pursuit activity remains unreliable.
