UNSPSC 85693715: Removal of internal fixation device from left ulna, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left ulna, percutaneous 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 0PPL34Z

UNSPSC 85693715 Removal of internal fixation device from left ulna, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code assigned to a surgical procedure descriptor, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant real-world alignment. The recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code instead reflect broader healthcare administration, employee health benefits, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, county health systems, and regional public employers soliciting medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgery carve-out networks, occupational health examinations, and temporary healthcare staffing to support their employee benefits and detention-facility health operations.

Activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington State, and Texas in the recent record. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026, at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code assignment appears to be a taxonomy mismatch rather than an indicator of active surgical-procedure procurement under this specific UNSPSC designation.
