This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from left ulna, 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 0PPLX5Z

UNSPSC 85692969 Removal of external fixation device from left ulna, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it involve healthcare administration, benefit management, and medical direction services that do not match this narrow surgical scope.

The five most recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison, Columbus Consolidated Government, RFP due May 15, 2026), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP due April 9, 2026), virtual primary and urgent care platform services (Monroe County, Florida, RFP due April 16, 2026), peer support services for peer workers (San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, RFP due July 2, 2025), and fire department emergency medical services direction (Santa Monica Fire Department, RFP due October 16, 2025). The issuing bodies include county health departments, county human resources and benefits divisions, county procurement offices, and municipal fire services across Florida, Georgia, California, and adjacent jurisdictions. The code appears to be a miscoding artifact; state and local procurement offices are not soliciting removal of external fixation devices under this classification. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code assignment before investing pursuit resources.
