This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left scapula, external 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 0PP6X4Z

UNSPSC 85691831 Removal of internal fixation device from left scapula, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code include inmate medical and pharmacy services procurement (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support services for mental health workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica). None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgical procedures, implant removal, or scapular fixation device management. The code appears to have been incorrectly assigned to health care service contracts that fall outside the surgical commodity taxonomy it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span county governments (Collier County, Monroe County, Muscogee County), a county behavioral health division (San Mateo County), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica Fire Department) across Florida, Georgia, California, and other states. Because the code assignment does not match the work actually being solicited, no reliable geographic or industry-specific market concentration can be drawn. Firms pursuing state and local contracts in orthopedic device removal, surgical implant management, or related commodity-level medical supply and procedure codes should verify code assignment accuracy before investing in bid development; this code does not currently signal procurement activity in those service lines.
