UNSPSC 85695236: Removal of internal fixation device from right metacarpal, 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 metacarpal, 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 0PPP44Z

UNSPSC 85695236 Removal of internal fixation device from right metacarpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal surgical procedure scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic device removal or hand surgery; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, hospital emergency and specialty services for detained youth, and surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs. The mismatch between the code's technical surgical designation and the actual procurement activity suggests either inconsistent coding in the source data or that this particular procedure code is not in active use by state and local healthcare and benefits administrators.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human resources divisions (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city procurement offices managing employee benefits (City of Long Beach), and county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Activity is geographically dispersed across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (proposals due October 9, 2026) covering 14 ferry locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (proposals due October 16, 2026) for disability pension determinations, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing services solicitation (proposals due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code designation and actual procurement substance, vendors pursuing state and local health services contracts should verify coding accuracy before responding to opportunities tagged under this code.
