UNSPSC 85694554: Removal of internal fixation device from right metacarpal, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right metacarpal, external 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 0PPPX4Z

UNSPSC 85694554 Removal of internal fixation device from right metacarpal, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code—ranging from independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—describe administrative and clinical services that bear no connection to orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal. The code's nominal scope addresses a specific surgical intervention on hand bones, yet the recent solicitations from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and County of Santa Clara Health System target health plan administration, occupational medicine, emergency services coordination, and staffing—work that does not fall within operative orthopedic services or medical device extraction.

State and local procurement under this code does not appear active at present based on available posted opportunities. The mismatch between the code's surgical specificity and the actual scope of recent solicitations signals either a data-tagging error in the source material or that this particular procedure code sees minimal direct procurement activity through state and local channels. For firms pursuing work in occupational health services, health plan administration, or emergency medicine coordination, the recent opportunities above may be worth monitoring; for those focused on orthopedic surgical contracting, this code warrants continued monitoring rather than immediate pursuit.
