This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right humeral shaft, 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 0PPF3KZ

UNSPSC 85693736 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right humeral shaft, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—a highly specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged to the code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve orthopedic tissue removal or the specific procedural scope the code describes.

The geographic spread and issuing bodies are diverse: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The mismatch between the code's title and the actual scope of recent procurements suggests either systematic miscoding or that this code is used as a placeholder for broader health services categories within certain state and local procurement systems. Practitioners should verify code alignment with issuers before pursuing opportunities tagged to this classification.
