This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left radius, 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 0PPJ04Z

UNSPSC 85693255 Removal of internal fixation device from left radius, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—surgical removal of orthopedic hardware from a specific anatomical site—does not align with the state and local contract opportunities present in the source. The recent solicitations tagged under this code are for inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programming, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or the removal of internal fixation devices. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or that the code is not actively used for services state and local governments are currently procuring in volume.

State and local jurisdictions soliciting during this period—including Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California)—are pursuing healthcare administration, managed care coordination, and occupational health support rather than surgical services. Without evidence of actual procurement demand for orthopedic surgical procedures under this code, business development professionals should treat this category as inactive for state and local pursuit.
