UNSPSC 85695216: Removal of internal 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 internal 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 0PPT44Z

UNSPSC 85695216 Removal of internal fixation device from right finger phalanx, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code name refers to a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgery carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with removal of internal fixation devices or finger phalanx procedures. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying solicitation records or a systematic miscoding of health services opportunities under this procedure-specific taxonomy entry.

The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 reflect activity across multiple issuing bodies (state departments, counties, city retirement offices, and health systems) in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but none of the work or vendor qualifications described involve orthopedic surgical device removal. Given this persistent divergence between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code does not currently represent a viable procurement category for business development purposes in state and local markets.
