UNSPSC 85693739: Removal of external fixation device from right humeral shaft, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device 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 0PPF35Z

UNSPSC 85693739, Removal of external fixation device from right humeral shaft, percutaneous approach (Commodity), does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure code—removing an external fixation device from a bone shaft—yet the six recent opportunities tagged under it solicit medical staffing, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these procurements involve the supply, removal, or disposition of external fixation devices as medical equipment or consumables. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to these opportunities by the originating procurement offices, or the code taxonomy does not map cleanly to the work actually being solicited.

State and local buyers—including the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and County of Santa Clara—are actively pursuing medical and health services across multiple jurisdictions, but they are not purchasing under this code for its stated scope. Activity across these opportunities spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. A firm targeting this code should verify with procurement offices whether it accurately reflects the work being solicited, and should not assume opportunities listed under it are relevant without direct confirmation from the issuing body.
