This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left rib, 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 0PP244Z

UNSPSC 85692417, Removal of internal fixation device from left rib, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure code — does not align with the medical services actually being solicited by state and local jurisdictions in the recent opportunities block. The opportunities tag medical surveillance, occupational health examinations, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing, none of which correspond to orthopedic surgical procedures or fixation device removal. This mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied by issuing bodies or rarely used for state and local procurement purposes at the commodity level.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county government (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and cities (City of Long Beach)—across three states (Arizona, Florida, Washington, California). However, none of these solicitations address the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code. Until state and local jurisdictions systematically tag commodity-level surgical procedure codes for work they are actually buying, this code remains opaque for business development targeting in the state and local space.
