UNSPSC 85694254: Removal of internal fixation device from left clavicle, 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 clavicle, 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 0PPB44Z

UNSPSC 85694254, Removal of internal fixation device from left clavicle, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve orthopedic device removal or related surgical procedures; instead, they address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the solicitations posted under it reflect administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and personnel staffing — activities that fall outside the code's intended medical-procedure classification.

No representative recent opportunities directly address device removal, orthopedic implant extraction, or related surgical services under this code. The mismatch between the code's technical surgical definition and the healthcare-administration focus of the tagged solicitations suggests either a data-classification error or a systematic misalignment in how state and local procurement offices are applying this code. Firms pursuing orthopedic surgical device removal or extraction services should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before responding to state and local RFPs, as this code does not currently reflect that market activity.
