UNSPSC 85693245: Removal of internal fixation device from left ulna, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left ulna, open 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 0PPL04Z

UNSPSC 85693245 Removal of internal fixation device from left ulna, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities reflected in the source material. The recent solicitations tagged under this code reflect comprehensive healthcare services procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical removal of orthopedic hardware from a specific anatomical site. The code appears to be a procedural or clinical classification that does not map to the bundle of services state and local governments are actually buying under it.

The recent activity shows healthcare contracting across multiple issuing bodies and jurisdictions. The Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department Purchasing Division issued RFP No. 26-0008 on April 15, 2026 (due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison covering approximately 576 offenders; Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division issued RFP 25-8414 on April 9, 2026 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending; Monroe County, Florida Board of County Commissioners issued an RFP on March 14, 2026 (due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members; San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services issued RFP No. 2025-007 for a peer support pilot project funded at $580,000; and the Santa Monica Fire Department issued an RFP (posted February 25, 2026) for a fire department medical director. The geographic footprint spans Florida, Georgia, and California. Given the mismatch between the code's clinical taxonomy and the operational healthcare services procurement these opportunities represent, the code as tagged appears to reflect a data classification error rather than legitimate state and local activity in surgical device removal.
