UNSPSC 85692013: Removal of internal fixation device from right scapula, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right scapula, 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 0PP504Z

UNSPSC 85692013 Removal of internal fixation device from right scapula, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedure coding, but the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect procurement of healthcare services and administration — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical director contracts — none of which align with the scope of surgical device removal.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual buying patterns reflected in recent solicitations suggests either misclassification in the source data or that UNSPSC 85692013 is not the appropriate code for state and local procurement of healthcare delivery services. No recent opportunities in the source directly solicit orthopedic surgery, surgical device removal, or related clinical procedures. A business development professional evaluating this code for pursuit should verify whether the actual healthcare-services opportunities are tagged correctly elsewhere and treat this code as inactive for practical state and local procurement purposes.
