This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right 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 0PP534Z

UNSPSC 85692213 Removal of internal fixation device from right scapula, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities recorded under it. The recent solicitations posted against this code are for independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of orthopedic hardware or percutaneous surgical procedures on the scapula. This appears to be a taxonomy mismatch in which the code name reflects a specific clinical procedure but the issuing bodies are procuring administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and staffing instead.

The source shows recent activity from Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration among repeat issuing bodies. The opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of the procedure named in the code itself, and therefore the code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing surgical services, orthopedic device removal, or related clinical procedures.
