UNSPSC 85695021: Removal of internal fixation device from left thumb phalanx, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left thumb phalanx, percutaneous 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 0PPS34Z

UNSPSC 85695021 Removal of internal fixation device from left thumb phalanx, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code names a surgical procedure code, but the six recent opportunities posted by state and local bodies under this classification — independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — represent administrative and clinical support services rather than the specific orthopedic procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in how these opportunities were tagged or a systematic miscoding of health-services opportunities against surgical procedure codes in the state and local procurement system.

No representative opportunities align with the code's stated scope. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes and flag the tagging discrepancy with the issuing systems for correction.
