This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from left finger phalanx, 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 0PPV45Z

UNSPSC 85695210 Removal of external fixation device from left finger phalanx, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on finger bone—bears no meaningful connection to the opportunities posted against it. Recent solicitations tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These opportunities span occupational health, benefits administration, and clinical staffing—none involve orthopedic surgical procedures or the specific procedural intervention the code describes.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). Geographic concentration appears in the Southwest and West Coast, with activity from Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no recent activity aligned with its stated clinical procedure scope and appears misapplied to health services procurement more broadly.
