UNSPSC 85693754: Removal of internal fixation device from left clavicle, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left clavicle, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85693754 Removal of internal fixation device from left clavicle, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve removal of internal fixation devices or percutaneous orthopedic procedures. The mismatch suggests either a miscoding error in the data or a fundamental misalignment between the code's definition and how state and local procurement systems have applied it to these opportunities.

The recent opportunities show activity across multiple issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and county procurement divisions (Collier County), but the work being solicited bears no relationship to the code's stated scope. No decision-relevant procurement signal exists under this code for a business development professional evaluating orthopedic surgical services or related medical device removal contracting at the state and local level.
