UNSPSC 85694749: Removal of internal fixation device from left metacarpal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left metacarpal, open 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 0PPQ04Z

UNSPSC 85694749 Removal of internal fixation device from left metacarpal, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-out benefits, and emergency services for detained youth. None of these solicitations concern orthopedic device removal or surgical implementation of the procedure the code names. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county health systems, city retirement boards, state transportation departments, county probation departments, county benefits consortiums, and city public employee benefit programs. The scope mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding in the source data or that this commodity code is not actively used for its nominal purpose in current state and local procurement.

The recent opportunities recorded under this code originate in Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determination for public safety personnel; the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services supporting ferry operations across 14 Washington locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). The code shows no cohesive procurement pattern aligned with its stated commodity definition.
