UNSPSC 85693719: Removal of external fixation device from right ulna, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from right 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 0PPK35Z

UNSPSC 85693719 Removal of external fixation device from right ulna, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's medical procedure nomenclature (surgical removal of a specific orthopedic device) does not match the scope of work in the recent solicitations tagged to it, which instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care networks, and emergency services for detained youth. State and local procurement offices appear to have misapplied this code to broader healthcare administration and staffing services rather than discrete surgical procedures.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span multiple issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services (proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations ($750,000 maximum over five years, due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's multiple-award pool (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code's current tagging reflects healthcare administration and workforce procurement, not procedural surgery, and pursuit should be evaluated against the actual service categories being solicited rather than the code's nominal surgical definition.
