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 0PPB0JZ

UNSPSC 85693282 Removal of synthetic substitute from left clavicle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not match the work actually being solicited under it in the recent opportunities block. State and local governments are not procuring this surgical procedure directly; instead, they are contracting for medical services administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and independent medical evaluations. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities have been tagged to this code or that the code is being misapplied to broader health services procurement that includes orthopedic care as one component among many. The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but none specifically target removal of synthetic clavicle substitutes as a line item.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the actual scope of health services being solicited: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians; the County of Santa Clara Health System established a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) spanning 13 ancillary clinical categories; the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual spending. This code shows no actionable recent procurement activity aligned with its stated scope and warrants review for recoding or exclusion from active pursuit.
