UNSPSC 85693730: Removal of internal fixation device from right radius, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right radius, 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 0PPH34Z

UNSPSC 85693730 Removal of internal fixation device from right radius, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—percutaneous removal of orthopedic hardware from the radius bone—yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect administrative health services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and specialty care network contracting, none of which involves surgical fixation removal. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or erroneously to opportunities in the health-benefits and occupational-health space, rather than representing active procurement of orthopedic surgical services.

State and local health systems, counties, and municipalities are soliciting under this code for disability medical evaluations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical procedure carve-out networks (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System), but none of these align with the code's procedural scope. The City of Phoenix RFP 26001, due October 16, 2026, seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the Washington State Ferries RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026, solicits occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations in Washington; and Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management targets approximately 2,400 employees across Florida. The issuing bodies span state departments, county health systems, municipal retirement boards, and transit authorities across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the orthopedic surgical procedure it nominally describes and should be treated as a signal of misclassification rather than active market opportunity.
