UNSPSC 85694245: Removal of internal fixation device from left humeral head, percutaneous endoscopic 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 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 0PPD44Z

UNSPSC 85694245 Removal of internal fixation device from left humeral head, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no coherent recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out networks (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System)—are orthogonal to orthopedic surgery or device removal. None of these solicitations reference surgical procedures, orthopedic implants, or device extraction. The code appears to have been assigned by state and local procurement offices without alignment to the work actually being procured.

State and local governments are using this code designation to tag healthcare administration, benefit management, and clinical staffing services, not surgical interventions or implant removals. The issuing bodies span county governments, municipal health systems, state transportation departments, and county health authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Unless your firm operates in healthcare administration, benefit design, occupational health surveillance, or clinical temp staffing—and is willing to accept that the UNSPSC code assignment is unreliable—this code presents material classification drift risk and warrants direct verification with procurement offices before pursuing any opportunity tagged to it.
