UNSPSC 85692982: Removal of internal fixation device from left humeral head, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left humeral head, 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 0PPDX4Z

UNSPSC 85692982 Removal of internal fixation device from left humeral head, external approach is a Commodity code that shows a severe mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — removal of a left humeral head fixation device via external approach — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, and emergency youth detention medical services. None of these represent the orthopedic procedure the code describes.

The geographic spread of these mislabeled opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington state (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), indicating that the code appears to have been applied inconsistently across multiple jurisdictions and contract types. State and local procurement offices are using this Commodity code to tag a diverse range of health services procurement that does not align with its specified surgical procedure. No recent opportunities actually solicit removal of humeral head fixation devices or related orthopedic surgical services. This code shows little relevant recent activity for the work its name describes.
