UNSPSC 85694230: Removal of internal fixation device from right radius, percutaneous endoscopic 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 endoscopic 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 0PPH44Z

UNSPSC 85694230, Removal of internal fixation device from right radius, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its abstract clinical description and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit surgical procedures or orthopedic device removal; instead, they span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. The mismatch suggests this code may be incorrectly tagged in the jurisdictions' procurement systems or that the UNSPSC classifier was applied to broader healthcare service scopes rather than the specific procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies span diverse state and local entities: a city retirement board (City of Phoenix), a municipality (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county probation department (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), a county government (Collier County), and a county health system (County of Santa Clara). Activity is concentrated in three states—Arizona, California, and Washington—with one solicitation from Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The code currently shows little relevant recent activity for the specific orthopedic surgical procedure it nominally describes and warrants clarification with issuing bodies before pursuit.
