UNSPSC 85692983: Removal of external fixation device from right humeral head, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from right 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 0PPCX5Z

UNSPSC 85692983 Removal of external fixation device from right humeral head, external approach is a Commodity code representing a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code reflect no alignment with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve removal of external fixation devices from the humeral head. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the code's stated procedure and the actual opportunities suggests either a data classification error or incomplete alignment between issuing bodies' tagging practices and the UNSPSC taxonomy structure.

No state and local procurement activity directly related to orthopedic surgical procedures involving removal of external fixation devices from the humeral head appears in the recent opportunities block. The Washington State Department of Transportation, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System are the issuing bodies represented, but their solicitations span medical administration, staffing, and benefit management services rather than surgical implant or device removal procedures. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code assignment before pursuing opportunities posted under this classification.
