UNSPSC 85693288: Removal of internal fixation device from right clavicle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right clavicle, 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 0PP904Z

UNSPSC 85693288, Removal of internal fixation device from right clavicle, open approach (Commodity), does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — orthopedic removal of hardware — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it procure occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefits carve-out management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and emergency inpatient care. These solicitations address medical administration, network management, personnel placement, and healthcare delivery oversight rather than the surgical intervention the code name specifies. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the work actually being bought suggests either miscoding at the issuing body level or a taxonomy alignment problem that warrants verification before pursuing opportunities under this code.

No opportunities in the source material directly solicit removal of internal fixation devices or related orthopedic surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government and county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier, Harris), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health system consortia; they are geographically distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The most recent opportunity is the Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) due October 16, 2026, which requests independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations—work unrelated to the code's nominal scope.
