UNSPSC 85695215: Removal of external fixation device from right finger phalanx, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from right 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 0PPT45Z

UNSPSC 85695215, Removal of external fixation device from right finger phalanx, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that maps poorly to actual state and local procurement activity. Recent solicitations tagged under this medical procedure code show no alignment with the nominal scope; instead, they reflect procurement for administrative and clinical support services — occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation coordination, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal. The mismatch suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or a breakdown in how the code is being applied to state and local contracting.

The recent-opportunities block contains six records posted between July and September 2026, spanning Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health and human services agencies (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County), and county procurement divisions (Collier County). Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (response due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (response due October 7, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being solicited, the code shows little relevant recent activity for orthopedic surgical services procurement at state and local level.
