UNSPSC 85693269: Removal of external fixation device from right humeral shaft, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from right humeral shaft, 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 0PPF05Z

UNSPSC 85693269, Removal of external fixation device from right humeral shaft, open approach (Commodity), does not align with the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code include independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for public employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention on the humerus, yet the actual procurement activity reflects administrative health services, staffing placement, and benefits management unrelated to operative orthopedic care.

No state or local government opportunities matching the code's stated medical procedure are present in the recent activity. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or that this UNSPSC category does not currently see active state and local procurement. Business development professionals should verify the code assignment with the issuing authority before pursuing opportunities listed under this designation; the recent postings do not represent genuine demand for the service the code nominally describes.
