UNSPSC 85695634: Removal of external fixation device from left carpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from left carpal, 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 0PPN45Z

UNSPSC 85695634 Removal of external fixation device from left carpal, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, and surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs — none of which involve the removal of external fixation devices or orthopedic surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source data or that this commodity code does not reflect current state and local purchasing patterns.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged under this code include Arizona municipal government (City of Phoenix), California municipal and county entities (City of Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington state transportation (WSDOT), Florida county government (Collier County), and Texas county juvenile justice (Harris County), with activity concentrated in benefits administration, occupational health services, and temporary staffing rather than surgical procedures. Given the absence of opportunities aligned with the code's stated definition, pursuit under this UNSPSC number is not recommended without clarification of the tagging discrepancy.
