UNSPSC 85693745: Removal of internal fixation device from left humeral head, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left humeral head, 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 0PPD34Z

UNSPSC 85693745 Removal of internal fixation device from left humeral head, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity captured in the most-recent opportunities block. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it are for medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of internal fixation devices or procedural interventions at the commodity level. The mismatch suggests either a data-coding error in the municipal procurement system or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for health services work that belongs elsewhere in the UNSPSC taxonomy.

The recent activity under this code, taken at face value, spans city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county probation systems, county health consortia, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, up to $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, across 14 ferry terminals), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually), and Santa Clara County Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows limited relevant recent activity, and pursuit should be contingent on verification that the actual work to be performed aligns with organizational capability rather than relying on the commodity code's stated scope.
