UNSPSC 85692209: Removal of internal fixation device from left scapula, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left scapula, percutaneous 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 0PP634Z

UNSPSC 85692209 Removal of internal fixation device from left scapula, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its medical procedural code designation and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit surgical removal of orthopedic fixation devices; instead, they reflect comprehensive healthcare service procurement including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies reflect typical state and local healthcare purchasing: county corrections departments (Muscogee County, Georgia), county human resources and health plan administration (Collier County, Florida and Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health services (San Mateo County, California), and municipal emergency services (Santa Monica Fire Department, California). Geographic activity spans Georgia, Florida, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members with historical annual spending of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members effective October 1, 2026 (due April 16, 2026). The code appears to be misapplied in the procurement database; buyers seeking orthopedic surgical services or procedure-specific medical coding should not rely on this code tag to identify relevant state and local opportunities.
